Here are some tips:<\/p>\n<p>Provide barrier-free access: make sure to place your trick-or-treating station at a location that is easily accessible to all. For example, clear your driveway and pathways of any obstacles and make sure it is well lit.<\/p>\n<p>Create a safe environment: if you are planning to decorate your trick-or-treating station, front yard or other visible areas of your home, make sure that you are creating decorations that can be enjoyed by all. For example, refrain from using strobe lights and high-pitched, sudden loud noises which may be alarming for some children.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone is different: various disabilities can affect how someone interacts with others.\u202fPractice patience and understanding to ensure that trick-or-treaters feel comfortable and welcome.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about this initiative, visit\u202fthe <a href=\"http:\/\/treataccessibly.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Treat Accessibility<\/a> website.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-171431\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/AdobeStock_223329618-Downloaded-September-28-2026-328x219.jpeg\" alt=\"Several children reaching into a treat bag while wearing costumes.\" width=\"328\" height=\"219\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                                    Tags&#13;<br \/>\n                                    &#13;<\/p>\n<p>    Media contact<\/p>\n<p>City of Mississauga Media Relations<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mississauga.ca\/city-of-mississauga-news\/news\/a-skele-ton-of-halloween-fun-is-waiting-right-here-in-mississauga\/mailto:media@mississauga.ca\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">media@mississauga.ca<\/a><br \/>905-615-3200, ext.\u00a05232<br \/>TTY:\u00a0905-896-5151<br \/><a class=\"newsnews\" href=\"https:\/\/preferences.enewsmississauga.ca\/subscribe?category=City%20of%20Mississauga\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Get email updates<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"No tricks, just treats!
