Get These Halloween Treats — Before It’s Too Late!
Handing out treats is a Halloween tradition. Since many areas can’t go door-to-door Trick or Treating this year, we’re handing out something even more valuable than candy — resources and prizes!
Visit our Halloween Central page for treats like pumpkin carving templates, electronic greeting cards and important information on bats — the unofficial animal of Halloween.
Adopt a Little Brown Bat for Your Trick or Treater
The Little Brown Bat stuffie is the perfect way to support Canada’s at-risk bats no matter how you wind up celebrating Halloween. Each bat adoption includes a cute Little Brown Bat plushie, adoption certificate and information on this at-risk species. All proceeds will benefit the bat conservation research at the Canadian Wildlife Federation.

Ever wonder what kind of bats you see flying around your property or neighbourhood? Interested in finding out? By entering our Big Batty Halloween IV contest, you could win an Echo Meter Touch bat monitor from Wildlife Acoustics.

Fall is a time when bats return to gather for winter. Gathering together could put bats at risk of contracting White Nose Syndromes, a deadly disease that is wiping out entire colonies of bats in Canada. Learn more about bats and enter our contest at helpthebats.ca!
Can one person make a difference for wildlife? Absolutely.
Enjoy a safe and happy Halloween. And remember — sometimes, even bats need a superhero.
