The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) want to ensure everyone has an enjoyable and safe Halloween night.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Halloween can be an exciting time for children and with the distraction of candy and costumes, safety rules can easily be forgotten. There will be lots of little ghouls, goblins and ghosts out on the streets on Halloween night and here’s how you can take extra care.<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Young children should be accompanied by an adult or responsible older child<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Teach your child to stop at the curb, look left, right and left again, and to listen for oncoming tra\ufb03c<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Choose face paint instead of masks<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Try to cross at crosswalks, street corners or intersections – it’s unsafe to cross between parked cars or other obstacles<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Stay on the sidewalk when walking from house to house, and if there is no sidewalk, walk beside the road, facing tra\ufb03c so drivers can see you<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Drive slowly in residential areas where children are more likely to be trick-or\u2010treating<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Watch out for kids, many of who will be wearing costumes that limit their vision<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Reduce distractions, such as cellphones or loud music, and stay alert<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Children should wear costumes with bright fabrics or reflective material and carrying a flashlight<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Have an adult check your candy before eating<\/p>\n
