Halloween Safety Tips

A message from “Officer Rich”.

Remember why we have rules, they are to keep us safe! And when you do not follow the rules, you are no longer safe!  Please follow these important Halloween Rules when you are “trick or treating”.

1)      NEVER go into anyone’s house or car, no matter how well you know that person.  Unless  your parent or trusted adult is with you.
2)      NEVER eat any candy until your parents have checked it.
3)      Costumes should be short enough so that you don’t trip and fall.
4)      Watch out for cars REMEMBER that it may be hard for drivers to see you.
5)      Trick or treat in your own neighbourhood and NEVER take shortcuts through backyards, alleys, laneways or parks.
6)      Stay away from lit pumpkins.
7)      Trick or treat in a group, NEVER go alone.
8)      ALWAYS trick or treat with a parent or trusted adult.
9)      Use face paint or makeup instead of a mask.  Masks make it hard to see where you are walking.
10)   When you are trick or treating, never “zig zag” across the street.  Walk up one side of the street, then walk down the other side of the street.
11)   Always walk on the sidewalk, NOT the street.
12)   Only visit houses with the lights on.
13)   Always be polite and say thank you.

Remember to follow these important rules, so that you stay safe!!  Have a fun & safe Halloween everyone!!
