It’s Hallowe’en and all of Chatham-Kent’s ghouls and goblins will be out on the street tonight.
The OPP are offering a number of tips for kids and adults alike.
Walk; do not run from door to door. Use sidewalks and cross walks or cross at corners and well-lit areas. Adults should accompany children at all times. Small children should ‘Trick or Treat’ when it is still daylight if possible. Older children should stay in groups, plan a route and stick with it.
Drivers should slow down and watch for children. Children get excited and may forget to look before they run out onto the roadways. Don’t drive distracted. Keep your eyes on the roadway and your mind on driving. Don’t drink and drive! Use a designated driver, take a taxi or use public transit.
It promises to be a cold wet walk, and people need to dress appropriately as well.
