TIPS FOR A SAFE HALLOWEEN:

    For Drivers -

    -   Slow down as you drive through residential areas - 10 km slower can
        make a big difference in an emergency stop.
    -   Watch for children darting out from behind parked cars.
    -   Come to a full stop at designated intersections and proceed slowly
        when driving through.
    -   Do not drive if you have been drinking - find alternate
        transportation such as riding with a designated driver, taking a taxi
        or transit.

    For Parents and Children -

    -   Children wear light or reflective costumes that are easy to move in
        and don't cause tripping, and use face paint instead of wearing a
        mask.
    -   Children carry a flashlight
    -   Never run out between two parked cars. Always cross at a designated
        intersection, looking both ways and make sure drivers see you before
        you cross.
    -   If there is no sidewalk, always walk facing traffic and as far off
        the road as possible.
    -   Parents make sure the "loot route" is planned along well-lit streets
    -   Parents accompany children and make sure the group travels together.
    -   Parents review the "rules of the road" before starting out.

    Other Tips for a Safe Halloween -

    -   Never eat treats until you get home and an adult has checked your
        loot.
    -   Check wrappers of commercially sold treats for signs of tampering.
    -   Notify the police if anything dangerous is found so they can find the
        person responsible before anyone gets hurt.
