Halloween 2019

Last updated on June 16, 2021
We wish you a happy (next day of) Halloween!

This is the second year I am celebrating Halloween. Well, by celebrating I mean carving a pumpkin, as well as keeping the house dark to avoid children from knocking on our door. Last year I carved the Embrace ASD logo out of a pumpkin. To see last year’s results, have a look at this post:

Halloween 2018

This year I wanted to maintain that tradition. But this time, I set the words ‘Embrace Autism’ in my own Astroville typeface. Behold!

Here are a few more pictures of the results:

If the message of our pumpkin speaks to you,
please feel free to share!

Land acknowledgement

Embrace Autism recognizes and acknowledges the traditional lands of the Indigenous peoples across Ontario. From the lands of the Anishinaabe to the Attawandaron and Haudenosaunee, these lands surrounding the Great Lakes are steeped in First Nations history. We are in solidarity with Indigenous brothers and sisters to honour and respect Mother Earth. We acknowledge and give gratitude for the wisdom of the Grandfathers and the four winds that carry the spirits of our ancestors that walked this land before us. Embrace Autism is located on the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We acknowledge and thank the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation—the Treaty holders—for being stewards of this traditional territory.
