A six-year-old boy in Sudbury who is being treated for cancer got to put on a costume and take part in Halloween trick-or-treating, according to CBC. The opportunity came through a "Trunk-or-Treat Night," an event CBC reported on Saturday, Oct. 24, 2026.
Trunk-or-treat events typically bring Halloween celebrations to parking lots, where participants hand out candy from decorated vehicles rather than from doorsteps. For the Sudbury boy, the format gave him a way to join in the holiday while dealing with cancer treatment, CBC reports.
CBC's coverage centered on the boy and his chance to dress up and collect treats like other children his age. The report did not include further details about the event's organizers, the venue, or how many people attended.
The story highlights how communities adapt holiday traditions so that children facing health challenges can still take part. CBC did not say whether the event was held specifically for the boy or as a broader community gathering.
What to watch next: whether CBC publishes a fuller account of the evening, including the costume the boy wore and the organizers behind the event.
