The RCMP is offering some safety tips to make sure everyone stays safe when kids are trick-or-treating tonight.
For Motorists:
If you’re driving around tonight make sure you’re watching out for kids running around going house to house.
The police remind motorists that kids might forget simple pedestrian safety rules in all the excitement.
They also recommend going slower in residential areas and proceed with caution when going in or out of a driveway or backing up.
For the kids:
They recommend never trick-or-treat alone, so always walk with an adult or a group of friends.
Wear reflective, bright colour costumes so they can be seen.
And don’t go inside to get a treat, wait outside if the adult has to get something.
For homeowners:
Avoiding open flames in displays is one of the tips the RCMP are giving to homeowners as they celebrate Halloween.
Another tip they give is to keep your home and doorway well-lit and clear sidewalks and pathways for safety.
