Calgary held its second annual Treat Accessibly Village on Saturday in Kensington, marking a milestone in making Halloween a more accessible holiday for everyone.
Hundreds of children took to 10A Street NW to trick or treat from the dozens of neighbours who took the accessible trick-or-treating message to heart.
Tables were set up in the street, allowing children who have mobility challenges to travel safely from station to station, while volunteers were also able to help children with sensory and intellectual disabilities.
The free event also had signs and information on hand so that visitors could make and mark their homes as accessible on Halloween night.
