Happy Halloween!
Brandon, a current computer engineering co-op student, has created a Halloween-themed version of the CanPlan app, featuring a spooky jack-o'-lantern pumpkin!
Each semester, co-op students join CanAssist to help build more inclusive communities by designing assistive technologies in collaboration with people with disabilities.
Tomorrow, November 1 from 2–6 PM, we’re hosting the CanAssist Co-op Celebration at the University of Victoria’s CARSA building. We’ll be recognizing past and present co-op students, alongside our team and community members.
There’s still time to register!
Come celebrate with us at CanAssist at the University of Victoria at UVic

Image Descriptions
Image 1: The Halloween-themed CanPlan home screen shows two orange stick figures and a stick figure in a wheelchair, all wearing witch hats. The title reads “Home; CanPlan,” with jack-o’-lanterns replacing the letter “a.” Below, three orange buttons with black text show the options: “Treats List,” “Candy Buckets,” and “Spooky Schedule.”
Image 2: The Halloween settings page of the CanPlan app includes a black border at the top and a dark grey background in the center. A black text box with white lettering lists the following options: “Notifications,” “Interface,” “Audio & Speech,” “Statistics,” “Privacy Policy,” and “Scary Pumpkin.”
Image 3: This image shows the scary pumpkin (jack-o’-lantern) featured on the CanPlan settings page. Beneath the pumpkin, the text reads from top to bottom: “Boo” and “Close.”
Image 4: From left to right Lorenz, Michael (in a blue & red luchador mask), Brandon (holding his phone with the spooky CanPlan app open), Summer (in a yellow-headed costume from the game “Peak”), Sam, and Griffin (in a white sheet ghost costume). There is a black painted spider pumpkin with 3D printed legs on the table in front of them.
