Be Safe This Halloween in Winnipeg

We’re just days away from Halloween, the single busiest day of the year for kids in Winnipeg.

This year, Halloween is expected to be fairly chilly with treating time hovering around the 0 mark. This means kids will be dashing quickly door to door, and in all likelihood across streets across residential areas of Winnipeg.

Costumes, of course, don’t necessarily light up well in Winnipeg streets, and with more parents driving their children around to different areas of the city, this could mean more trouble on the road.

So that we can all prevent pedestrian-driver incidents over All Hallow’s Eve, take necessary precautions:

– Drive slowly if you’re commuting. A child can duck out from cars without a moment’s notice.

– Ensure your child’s costume has some reflective material, especially if they will be going with friends and potentially bobbing and weaving through Winnipeg streets.

Be happy this Halloween but be safe.
