As Halloween approaches, CBC British Columbia, in partnership with Simon Fraser University's City Program, is launching its annual treat count initiative for 2023. This community engagement program encourages residents to report the amount of candy they distribute to trick-or-treaters on Halloween night. The collected data will be compiled and presented on an interactive map, which aims to provide insights into which neighbourhoods are the most popular for trick-or-treating based on candy availability.
Participants in the treat count will be able to share their experiences, specifying not only the quantity of candy given out but also the types of treats offered. This information will allow the mapping of candy distribution across various communities in British Columbia, helping families choose their trick-or-treating routes wisely.
The treat count not only promotes community involvement but also serves as a fun way to engage with the tradition of trick-or-treating, facilitating a sense of community spirit during the Halloween festivities. As always, organizers emphasize that this initiative is about more than just the candy—it's an opportunity to foster connections among neighbours and celebrate Halloween together.
