Happy Halloween Everyone, from Sts'ailes! Here are a few tips to stay safe and have and enjoyable Halloween:
See and Be Seen • For greater visibility during dusk and darkness, decorate or trim costumes with reflective tape that will glow in the beam of a car’s headlights. Bags or sacks should also be light colored or decorated with reflective tape. • To easily see and be seen, children should also carry flashlights. • Teach children to never assume they are seen by a vehicle. Small children may be especially difficult to spot in the dark. • Remind children to look both ways before crossing the street. Trick or Treating • Due to the number of children out on the street on Halloween evening, motorists should be especially careful driving along city streets, especially in neighborhoods, during designated trick-or-treat hours. • Trick-or-treaters should use sidewalks instead of the street whenever possible and always cross at crosswalks. • Young children should always be accompanied by an adult or an older, responsible child. • Make sure older children trick-or-treat with friends and carry a cell phone for quick communication. • Children and their parents should be cautioned about accepting unwrapped treats. So again have a safe and Happy Halloween!
