For many, Halloween is their favourite time of year. The masks, the costumes and the originality spark enthusiasm for young children.
Here are some helpful hints when out trick or treating tonight.
1. Plan your trick or treating route ahead of time. Trick or treating can take you many streets away. It is always nice to have a route planned.
2. Wear comfortable shoes. The long night can have an impact on your soles. Comfortable shoes can alleviate the pressure from walking.
3. Stay well lit. Apply reflective tape to your costumes to make vehicles aware of your presence and carry a flashlight.
4. Keep costumes short. Long costumes are a hazard and can cause injury.
5. Avoid masks. Painting your face or child’s is better practice. Masks can make it difficult to see and breathe.
6. Go out with a buddy. It’s all about fun!
7. Lastly, always be polite. People love a simple please and thank you!
