Halloween Safety Tips

Carry a flashlight and select a costume with bright colours and reflective material to increase visibility to drivers.
Use makeup instead of masks as masks can reduce your ability to see obstacles, vehicles, and other people.
Avoid baggy, long, and oversized costumes that can be a tripping hazard.
Walk, don’t run, and remember to stop, look, and listen before crossing the street.
Never crisscross the street, instead cross at crosswalks or intersections.
Never trick or treat alone, go in a group or with an adult.
If trick or treating with friends tell your parents/guardians your route and when you will be home.
Stay in familiar neighbourhoods and only go to homes that are well-lit and that are participating in Halloween.
Never go inside a house to get your treat.
Always have your treats checked by an adult before eating them.
