Hello, this is Senior Peace Officer, Sgt Paul Wright, with the Town of Olds.
Halloween is this Thursday, so please be on the lookout for little ghosts and goblins when you are driving around town. The streets are going to be busy with a lot of youngsters who are very excited about the candy they are getting and may forget to look before crossing the street.
Take extra care when driving and slow down a bit more than usual to make sure all the Halloween trick or treaters get home safely.
To parents of youngsters, make sure your child’s costume is visible to motorists, and make them aware of traffic safety rules. Make sure they know to look both ways before crossing and only cross streets in well lighted crosswalk areas.
We wish everyone out there a safe and happy Halloween.
