Imagine a Halloween where every child, regardless of their abilities, can experience the joy of trick-or-treating. That’s the vision behind Treat Accessibly, a movement that transforms Halloween into an inclusive celebration. By encouraging homeowners to offer treats from their driveways, Treat Accessibly ensures that all children can safely and comfortably enjoy the festivities. And this year, Surrey is one of the proud host cities for this event.

This year, TransLink staff are dressing up a RapidBus alongside our friends at Transit Security, to welcome trick-or-treaters at the Treat Accessibly Halloween Village on Oct. 26, 2024!

What’s a Treat Accessibly Halloween Village

Halloween Villages provide daytime curb-side accessible trick-or-treating for all children. This ensures any child of any ability can experience a traditional Halloween while simplifying planning for parents.

How to take part

Here are two easy ways to take part:

1. Join us on Oct. 26, 2024 as TransLink staff dress up our outreach bus and welcome trick-or-treaters at the Surrey Treat Accessibly Halloween Village. To ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience, pre-registration is required. You can secure your spot for a one-hour time slot on their website. But hurry — spaces are limited.
2. Any home trick-or-treating can Treat Accessibly on Oct. 31! Find a convenient pick-up points across B.C. for your very own free Treat Accessibly Lawn Sign that lets your neighbourhood know you will be accessibly inclusive this Halloween. Find a Lawn Sign pick-up place near you here.

So, dust off your costumes, gather your family, and join us for a Halloween to remember. Let’s make this Halloween the most inclusive one yet.

Happy Halloween EveryBODY from our new friends at Treat Accessibly and all of us at TransLink.
