While Halloween is supposed to be scary, for some children it can be downright frightening due to an inability to fully take part.
Five Counties Children’s Centre is hoping to change that by bringing back its All-o-ween event for a second straight year. All-o-ween is an accessible, inclusive and sensory-friendly trick-or-treating experience for Five Counties kids and their families, both those currently receiving treatment at the centre or who are on a wait list for services.
“We’re all in for All-o-ween to make the scariest night of the year an enjoyable evening for kids of all ages and abilities,” said Hayley Hodges, the Client and Family Experience Lead at Five Counties.
The events will run from 4 – 7 p.m. at each of its main sites as follows:
- On Tuesday, Oct. 28, at Five Counties (872 Dutton Road) in Peterborough
- On Wednesday, Oct. 29, at Five Counties (800 Division St., Unit 2) in Cobourg
- On Thursday, Oct. 30 at Five Counties (9 Russell St. E.) in Lindsay.
To attend All-o-ween, pre-registration is required. Families can book a spot for each event at their webpage here.
