Happy Halloween Safety Tips!
2025-10-31
Have a safe and happy Halloween from all of us at Yellowhead County!
We have some safety tips for everyone as there will be many people out and about this evening. We encourage all parents to teach Halloween Safety to their children!
Trick-or-Treating Tips:

Children should stay on sidewalks—walking, not running, and definitely no slithering or sneaking in the street!
Plan a trick-or-treat route ahead of time and ensure kids follow one side of the street before crossing to the other.
Cross the street only at intersections or crosswalks. Remind kids to look both ways for cars, trucks, and the occasional low-flying broomstick.
Carry a flashlight to help see and be seen by others.
Set boundaries for where kids can go, and a time they should return home if they are trick-or-treating without an adult. (Younger children should always be accompanied by an adult).

Costume Safety:

Choose light-coloured, flame-resistant costumes with reflective strips so kids are easily seen at night.
Make sure costumes are short enough to prevent tripping.
Add reflective tape to bikes, skateboards, and brooms for better visibility.
Avoid costumes with masks or items that obstruct vision—opt for face paint instead.
Steer clear of open flames and candles as costumes can be highly flammable.

Candy Safety:

Accept treats at the door only—never enter strangers’ homes or cars.
Remind children not to eat candy until it’s inspected by an adult at home. Avoid consuming treats if the packaging is already opened.
Be mindful of small, hard candies that could pose a choking hazard to younger kids.

Driver Safety:

SLOW DOWN especially in residential areas. Be extra cautious at driveways and alleyways.
Be extra prepared for pedestrians, especially children, who may be distracted.
Use your headlights – increase your visibility to pedestrians. If you stop, turn on your hazard lights to alert other drivers.
Put your phone away – eliminate your own distractions and focus on the road!
Be patient when pulling out of driveways and avoid passing stopped vehicles, as children may be getting in or out.
As always, stay sober if driving, and use a taxi or designated driver if you plan to consume alcohol.

We hope everyone has a great Halloween! Stay safe and of course HAVE FUN!
