As Halloween approaches, Nova Scotia officials urge trick-or-treaters and families to prioritize safety during their celebrations. With the excitement of costumes and candy, it’s easy to overlook potential risks. Authorities recommend that children travel in groups, use flashlights, and wear reflective clothing to stay visible after dark. Adults should accompany young children and remind older kids to stick to well-lit areas and avoid unfamiliar neighborhoods.

Homeowners can help too by keeping walkways clear of obstacles and ensuring their property is well-lit. Following these simple guidelines can help everyone enjoy a fun and safe Halloween night in Nova Scotia.
