With the streets populated by miniature ghosts and goblins this evening in Rocky View, it's time again to stay particularly alert if you're driving in the residential neighbourhoods of Airdrie, Cochrane or elsewhere. Our city's Mayor Peter Brown hopes both drivers and trick or treaters look out for each other this Halloween.

Other safety tips include avoiding masks that impair vision: opting instead for face paint, and making kids as visible as possible by having them carry a flashlight and wearing bright colours. Stay on the sidewalks and cross only at marked crosswalks. Finally, tell your kids not to sample any treats until you've had a chance to inspect the goodie bag yourself. Have a happy and safe Halloween!
