This Sunday, Stittsville (Ottawa) is gonna be lit with a curbside accessible trick-or-treating experience. We're talkin' DJs, magicians, performers, and accessible treat stations. It's all going down on Baywood Drive from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Other cities like Toronto, Montreal, Hamilton, Calgary, Edmonton, St. Albert, and Surrey are also throwing down.
