With children taking to the streets in costumes and neighbors preparing for trick-or-treaters, it&#8217;s essential to stay vigilant and be aware of safety measures.<\/p>\n<p>This year, we invite residents to join us in making Halloween safe and fun for everyone by following our helpful tips.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Children and Parents:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Be seen<\/strong>. Carry a flashlight and wear a costume with bright and reflective colors so people can see you.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be aware<\/strong>. Remember to stop, look and listen before crossing the street. Stay in familiar neighborhoods and only go to homes that are well lit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be creative<\/strong>. Use makeup instead of wearing a mask. Masks can make it hard to see hazards, other people and vehicles.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be safe<\/strong>. Go trick or treating with your parents or in a group with friends and never go into a stranger&#8217;s home or vehicle. Have an adult check your treats before eating them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be mindful of weather conditions.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><u>Motorists:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Drive slowly in residential areas where children are more likely to be trick or treating. Children are excited; they may run out into traffic.<\/li>\n<li>Remember that costumes can limit a child&#8217;s vision and they may not be able to see your vehicle.<\/li>\n<li>Reduce your distractions and stay alert.<\/li>\n<li>Remember to enter and exit driveways slowly and carefully. Proceed with caution.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The OPP is wishing everyone a safe and enjoyable Halloween.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ql-align-center\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is reminding the communities to prioritize safety tonight, Halloween.
