Treat Accessibly started in 2017 on a Toronto driveway, after six-year-old Siena Padulo noticed that a child using a wheelchair could not reach her family's front door. Her father, Rich Padulo, built the idea into a family-led movement: move the treats to the end of the driveway, and every child can take part in Halloween. More than 300,000 Canadian homes have participated over the years.
For Halloween 2026 — Saturday, October 31 — the movement is bringing whole streets in together for the first time: 29 official Treat Accessibly Halloween Streets across seven provinces, including nine in the Greater Toronto Area, led by volunteer Street Captains and their neighbours, with free lawn signs showing which homes are set up for children with mobility, sensory, and neurological disabilities. It is not a charity or a non-profit: families are never charged, and brand partners fund the free signs. The change costs a household nothing but a moved treat bowl — and it decides whether a child in a wheelchair spends Halloween as part of the street or watching it from the sidewalk.

Olivia Chow has won a second term with 54.16 per cent of the vote. Will Toronto be more affordable when her term ends in 2030 than it is today?
A straight-talking conversation show about Canadian politics and the events shaping the country—two people, honest reactions, no scripted newsreader voice.
Toronto has spoken: Nate and Sasha debrief Chow's 54.16% re-election win over Bradford, the real resident reactions, and the promises now on the record.

Toronto property taxes rose 9.5 per cent in 2024, 6.9 per cent in 2025, and 2.2 per cent in 2026 — about 20 per cent in total across Chow's first three budgets. Budget 2027 is the first test of her new promise to keep increases near inflation.
