Halloween: A Celebration for Everyone

To make Halloween inclusive for everyone, the City reminds residents that “Accessible Property” signs are available at City Hall (451 Saint-Jean Boulevard), the Recreation Building (94 Douglas-Shand Avenue) and the Pointe-Claire Public Library – Central (100 Douglas-Shand Avenue). These signs let trick-or-treaters know that your property is accessible for candy collection and help make Halloween more inclusive. 

You can also visit the Treat Accessibly website at any time for accessibility tips to help everyone fully enjoy the celebration, including:

• Clear your walkways of any obstacles;
• Make sure the path to your candy-distribution area is well lit.

In addition, Allergies Québec encourages families to place a teal pumpkin in front of their home to indicate that non-food treats are available.

Come enjoy memorable moments filled with surprises and magic!
