Here are some Halloween safety tips for 2024. Have a safe and enjoyable evening.
• Children should be accompanied by an adult.
• Children should wear clothing that can easily be seen at night. Retro-reflective materials are best.
• Children should trick or treat in one well-known area and not wander into unknown neighbourhoods.
• All candy should be inspected by an adult to make sure that no one has tampered with it. If it looks suspicious, the police should be contacted.
• Children should avoid stray animals.
• Children should wear masks that do not interfere with vision. Better yet, they can avoid masks by wearing makeup.
• Children should watch for moving vehicles when crossing streets.
• Costumes should be short enough that the child will not trip.
• Trick or treaters should dress appropriately for the weather and carry a flashlight.
• For extra safety, organize a Halloween party for children in your neighbourhood.
