Here are some practical reminders for drivers, trick or treaters and parents: Drivers: • Do not text or talk on a cell phone while driving • Drive very slowly especially in residential areas • Expect that children may suddenly run out from driveways or from behind parked vehicles • Avoid driving during trick or treating hours • Be extra careful in driveways and parking lots as well – double check before putting the vehicle in motion whether backing up or driving forwards. • Remember that children with masks on may have a restricted field of vision. Trick or Treaters and Parents: • Approach each home using the buddy system • Do not go inside any homes • Approach only clearly visible and unobstructed front doors of homes • If wearing a mask, remove the mask when walking from house to house or crossing the street • Make sure costumes and shoes fit well and aren't a tripping hazard o Be extra careful if you are wearing dark colour costume. Bright colours are easier to see. Consider carrying a bright coloured or white bag. • Take along a flashlight • Any children under 12 should be accompanied by a parent • Don't eat anything until it was inspected and approved by a parent • Use the sidewalks, not the roadways. • Travel in groups of three or more --------------------------------------------------- Images: --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2014-10-30 15:15:38 Post date GMT: 2014-10-30 19:15:38 Post modified date: 2014-11-05 10:46:57 Post modified date GMT: 2014-11-05 15:46:57 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
