RCMP Remind Trick or Treaters about Halloween Safety

The RCMP have a few tips to keep Halloween from being too scary.   Constable Lisa Wowchuck shares them here.

 

"The most important thing is to go from house to house and bring the candy back to your home or whoever you're staying with .  Make sure that an adult goes through the candy to make sure none of the packages are opened or anything like that."

 

For drivers, Wowchuk has these extra words of caution.

 

"Being a driver, if  you're going to be out on the roads, just be safe.  Be careful.  Drive a little bit slower than normal.  Kids have a habit, even though we talk about it constantly  - "look both ways before crossing the street" - kids, being excited, might dart out between vehicles."

 

Trick or treaters are also being reminded to wear reflective materials, carry a flashlight and only visit well-lit houses.
