It can be great fun to dress up as your favorite super hero or movie star on Halloween, but while you're out in the night, please make sure that you, and those around you, remain safe and enjoy themselves!

Halloween Safety Tips

1. Young children should always be accompanied by an adult or responsible teenager.
2. Only visit houses with their lights on, and never go inside a stranger's house unless accompanied by an adult.
3. When preparing for trick-or-treaters, make sure to clear the path to your home of anything which may trip young feet, and make sure to keep all flames, Jack-o-Lanterns, etc. safely out of the way.
4. Whenever possible, walk on the sidewalk, and not the street.
5. Decorate costumes and treat bags with reflective tape to make them more visible to motorists.
6. Carry a flashlight.
7. Masks can make it hard to breath, and reduce vision, so if possible, use face paint or cosmetics instead.
8. Wear well fitting clothes and shoes to help avoid tripping.
9. Any costume accessories such as swords should be soft (such as foam) and never sharp or pointed.
10. Teach children to never eat anything until they get home. An adult should inspect all wrappers for tampering. If there is evidence of tampering, call the police! All unwrapped foods should be thrown away.
