Halloween safety for young and old

Published on October 19th, 2009; Published on January 29th, 2010

Home Depot hosts a Halloween safety event October 30; from 3 to 7 p.m. Children and parents can pick up a Halloween safety activity book at the New Minas store beginning October 13.

Topics :: RCMP , Home Depot , Fire Department

Kids who bring the activity book to the October 30 event will receive a flashing LED pin to wear while trick or treating. The pins are designed to increase children’s visibility on Halloween night, RCMP Community Policing Officer Blair MacMurtery says.

In addition to safety tips, seniors will be offered battery-powered tea lights, he adds. “We recommend, rather than put a candle in your pumpkin, we would like you to illuminate it with a battery operated tea light.”

The project is a partnership between Kings RCMP, Kings County Seniors Safety Program, Home Depot, Safe Communities and the New Minas Fire Department.
