Which B.C. neighbourhoods have the most trick-or-treaters this Halloween?

Which B.C. neighbourhoods have the most trick-or-treaters this Halloween?

CBC
Friday, October 31, 2025 12:05:15 PM UTC

When kids head out on Halloween night to knock on doors and ask for treats, many will no doubt be hoping to find the best candy in their communities.

But which neighbourhoods hand out the most treats? And which ones see the most trick-or-treaters?

To help answer those questions, CBC B.C. is once again teaming up with Simon Fraser University's City Program to run its treat count — an annual tradition where we look at how much candy you gave out to trick-or-treaters and what you gave them, all displayed on an interactive map.

To get an idea of how it works, check out last year's results here.

Andy Yan, the director of SFU's City Program, says trick-or-treating remains a strong indicator of civic engagement and how much people like spending time in their community.

"People generally like their neighbourhoods more than they like their dwellings in Metro Vancouver, especially renters," he said.

Over the years, some B.C. neighbourhoods have dominated with the most treats — like Vancouver's Douglas Park and New Westminster's Queens Park.

Yan says he's very interested to see how trick-or-treating manifests itself in communities that have seen their populations boom, like Surrey.

He says the number of school-aged children has stayed the same in the City of Vancouver over the last two decades — but that number has tripled in Surrey.

"Some of the newer communities may not be familiar with trick-or-treating, right?" Yan said.

"And then ... over time, do they kind of pick it up? That type of cultural transfer?"

If you think your neighbourhood gives out the best treats, let the rest of the province know.

Fill out this form to report the number of trick-or-treaters who came to your house.

Count the number of costumed visitors that came knocking on your door, tell us what you gave them, and show us how you prepared for their arrival.
