Halloween is a busy time for kids of all ages. In preparation of Halloween, Coquitlam RCMP wants the public to plan for a fun and safe time by using these safety tips:

Planning your safe and scary look:

• Ensure your costume is visible in the dark. You can add reflective tape or arm bands to increase visibility. Use flashlights and glow sticks; they are great accessories for any costume and can keep kids visible to motorists.
• If your costume involves a mask, test it our prior to Halloween to ensure that you can see properly. If possible, use face paint instead.
• Ensure your costume is made of flame-retardant material.
• Make sure your costume fits well to avoid falls or stumbles.

Candy Safety:

• Inspect treats before consuming
• Do not eat homemade treats.
• Check all commercially wrapped treats for small holes in the wrappers, throw away anything that is torn, unwrapped, or in loose packaging.
• When in doubt throw it out!

Together we can ensure that this Halloween is happy, safe and fun.
