🎃👻 HALLOWEEN SAFETY GUIDE 👻🎃

A Safety Message from Sipekne’katik Administration & Sipekne’katik RCMP

Halloween is almost here! To help keep our community's trick-or-treaters, families, and drivers safe this evening, please review these essential safety tips:

For Trick-or-Treaters & Families:
🎃 Be Seen, Be Safe: Stick to well-lit areas and houses. Wear bright, reflective costumes or carry a flashlight so drivers can spot you easily.
🎃 Stick Together: Walk in groups and stay together.
🎃 Watch the Roads: Watch for traffic and vehicles backing out of driveways.
🎃 Paws Off: Be cautious around unfamiliar pets, as costumes and noises can startle animals.

For Drivers & Commuters:
🚗 Slow Down: Drive with extra caution and watch closely for children crossing between parked cars or streets.
🚗 Drive Sober: Never drive impaired or wear costumes that obstruct your view or movement.
🚗 Avoid Busy Zones: Try to avoid driving through high-foot-traffic areas during peak trick-or-treating hours.

Before Eating Treats:
🍬 Inspect All Candy: Check wrappers for any signs of tampering before letting kids eat.
🍬 Check Allergies & Hazards: Remove small hard candies or choking hazards for younger children and check for allergen labels.

📞 Emergency & Non-Emergency Contact: If you see suspicious activity or require non-emergency assistance tonight, please contact our local detachment:

📱 Sipekne’katik RCMP: (902) 758-3388
🚨 Emergencies: Call 911

Have a fun, spooktacular, and safe Halloween! 🎃✨
