Fort MacMurray, Halloween

Fort MacMurray has seen the arrival of Halloween, and it is important for everyone to have a safe and happy holiday today. This evening the streets and neighborhoods will be filled with trick or treaters in a wide variety of costumes, and kids of all ages will be out going from door to door collecting candy and other goodies. A costume which is very visible in the evening is a good choice, It allows drivers and others to see the child so that there are no accidents or injuries instead of gorging on candy once the kids return home. In the dark it may be difficult to see your child crossing the street or going through an intersection, so take steps to boost their visibility. Glow sticks, flash lights, and other light sources not only make your child more visible to others but these items can also help prevent any trips and falls because your child can not see where they are walking.

Remind children in Fort MacMurray to wait until they get home to eat any candy that they get for Halloween, and to have an adult check their loot before they consume it. Fort MacMurray is a fairly safe community but this is a step that every parent should reinforce just in case. You should also remind children not to go into the homes of any strangers that they do not know. Younger children should always be accompanied by an adult, and older children should be with at least one other buddy for safety.
