Each year, CBC British Columbia collaborates with Simon Fraser University's City Program to conduct a treat count that gathers information on Halloween candy distribution across various neighbourhoods in British Columbia. This year's event was particularly successful, influenced by favorable weather conditions, including a clear and dry Halloween, along with the fact that Halloween fell on a Saturday. These circumstances led to a significant increase in the number of trick-or-treaters out collecting candy on the evening of October 31. The findings from the treat count provide valuable insights into which neighbourhoods experienced the highest levels of trick-or-treating activity. To showcase the data, CBC has created an interactive map displaying the results of the treat count, allowing residents to see candy distribution patterns across the region.
