Costumes, candy and scary decorations make Halloween exciting and fun. With all the excitement of Halloween night, we don't always think about safety during the evening.
Here are some very important safety tips to make sure you have fun while trick-or-treating:
- Wear a costume that fits well, has bright colours and is non-flammable. Try using reflective tape on your costume for more visibility.
- For better vision, use face make-up or enlarge the eyes on your mask. When wearing a mask, push it up on your head while walking.
- Only visit the front door of well-lit homes and never go inside. Plan a route and a time to finish, and don’t go too far from home.
- Don’t eat any treats until an adult (at home) has checked them.
- Younger kids must go out with an adult. Older kids should trick-or-treat in groups.
Remember, if you need help or if you have a question, go to a Block Parent home, police officer or a blue Shaw van.
