Last-minute Halloween safety tips
Halloween is just around the corner and Parkland Ambulance’s Lyle Karasiuk wants to make sure people of all ages who are celebrating stay safe.
“Safe simply means this: Make sure your costume is bright and light,” he said. By bright, he said he means that the costume is reflective.
“I know that a witch really doesn’t look good in a pink tutu, but a witch certainly should have a bit of reflective something on her costume.” Parents can purchase reflective strips from a craft store to attach them to the cuffs of the costume, he suggested.
And in terms of making sure the costume is light, Halloween night may be a cold one, so Karasiuk said parents should make sure it’s easy to put over something so the kids can stay warm.
