It’s Halloween and there will be a lot of excited children out in our neighbourhoods trick-or-treating. Here’s a reminder about what you can do to keep everyone safe this evening.
Trick-or-Treaters
2. Travel in groups: Never trick or treat alone. Always walk with a group of friends, or an adult.
3. Stay on sidewalks: Avoid walking on streets when possible. If you must walk on a street, stay on the side facing oncoming traffic. Don't crisscross streets to get from house to house.
4. Check candies: Don’t eat your candies until an adult has checked them. Discard any open or suspicious-looking goodies.
5. Watch for cars: Look before crossing the street and be aware of cars pulling in and out of driveways and backing up.
Homeowners
2. Fire safety: If using candles in your decorations, place them far from flammable materials and always monitor them. Consider using LED candles as a safer alternative in your pumpkins.
3. Offer packaged treats: Stick to offering store-bought, sealed candies to ensure they're safe for consumption.
2. Check mirrors and look around: When backing up don't just rely on your dash video – look around and make sure it is safe to move.
3. Enter and exit driveways with caution: Watch for children walking on sidewalks and in between vehicles.
4. Never drive impaired!
