Hopefully, this Halloween will include lots of treats, a few tricks, and a safe night for everyone.

Nanaimo RCMP issued some public safety reminders this week ahead of Halloween on Thursday, Oct. 31, offering tips for trick-or-treaters and their parents, motorists, and anyone else who is planning to get into the Halloween spirit that day.

Fireworks are OK only in certain circumstances, and firecrackers, not at all.

B次元官网网址淲hatB次元官网网址檚 the difference you ask? Well, the only way in which you can lawfully possess or even set off fireworks in the City of Nanaimo is to receive prior approval from the fire chief,B次元官网网址 noted RCMP in the release. B次元官网网址淔irecrackers are prohibited and no one is allowed to possess them or set them off.B次元官网网址

As always, police remind parents and guardians that masks arenB次元官网网址檛 recommended if children canB次元官网网址檛 see their feet properly while masked.

B次元官网网址淢ake sure little ones are also dressed appropriately and that their costumes are not only comfortable, but visible,B次元官网网址 RCMP added.

Parents are also advised to look at their childB次元官网网址檚 candy haul at the end of the night and B次元官网网址渄o a once over before allowing your kids to dig in.B次元官网网址

Pets should be kept indoors on Halloween night to minimize their exposure to the noise and excitement of the evening.

And for motorists, itB次元官网网址檚 important to reduce speed significantly in the late afternoon, evening and night on Halloween, drive with care and attention, and be prepared to stop suddenly.

Anyone with questions about fireworks, firecrackers or Halloween safety is welcome to contact Nanaimo RCMP detachmentB次元官网网址檚 Community Policing section at 250-734-5445.
