Halloween Safety Tips

Costumes should be bright, or made of reflective material

Avoid children's costumes with long capes or droopy pants: these can cause the child to fall

Inspect all the childrens candy before letting them eat it

Avoid masks if possible; they obstruct a child's view at night

Set perimeters within your neighbourhood

Carry a flashlight

Never go into a strangers house

Walk only in well lit areas

Travel in groups. Take a few friends or relatives along for the evening

A halloween party in someone's home is safer than going house to house

Place a flashlight instead of a candle in your jack-o-lantern

Turn your porch light on to give kids extra visibility

If you put make up on your childs face, take care around the eyes.

WALK, don't run from house to house.

Have a safe and happy halloween.
