With Halloween just around the corner, the Terrace RCMP Detachment is encouraging the community to make safety a priority on this ghostly night.

The Terrace RCMP is reminding the public of a few simple tips to put into practice on October 31while trick-or-treaters are roaming the streets.

Children:

• Ensure costumes are visible – use reflective tape on yourself or your treat bag.
• Make sure kids can see well – avoid masks that restrict your vision.
• Don’t go out alone – walk with adults or a group of friends.
• Don’t enter any houses – wait outside for the treats.
• Have your treats inspected by an adult before eating any of them.
• Walk on sidewalks where possible and use marked crosswalks.

Drivers:

• Use extra caution, watch for excited trick-or-treaters who may forget pedestrian safety.
• Reduce speed in residential areas.
• Pay extra attention when backing out of driveways.

Homeowners:

• Keep the path to your door well lit and free of tripping hazards.
• Be kind to trick-or-treaters of all ages.

If anyone notices any suspicious activity in your community report to the Terrace RCMP at 250-638-7400 or 911 in an emergency.
