Halloween Safety Tips:   

• Be very careful when carving a pumpkin. Get a parent to help.

• Carry a flashlight.

• Use an environmentally friendly bag. They are less likely to tear and can be painted to match the costume.

• Wear comfortable shoes.

• Travel in groups. Take a few friends or relatives along.

• WALK — don't run from house to house.

• Never go to a stranger's home.

• Walk in well-lit areas.

• Don't cut through alleyways, laneways or abandoned homes. Stay on the sidewalks.

• Never cut across a busy street. Use the lights or a crosswalk.

• Don't accept rides.

• Don't push your way through to get candy. You, or someone else, could fall.
