Happy Halloween, Sackville-Preston-Chezzetcook!
Whether you’re spending Halloween trickor-treating, passing out some candy, carving pumpkins, or enjoying some autumn festivities, I wish you all a safe and fun-filled “spooky season.”
For the last month, I’ve been busy on Parliament Hill working with my colleagues to bring positive change to all Canadians. We remain highly focused on building more affordable homes and boosting our economy towards growth.
There is much more to be done, and by working together, we will help more Canadians prosper.

HALLOWEEN SAFETY TIPS
1. Choose the right costume
• Over-sized costumes and accessories can be hazardous around candles or other ignition sources
• Use face paint instead of masks—improperly-fitted masks can interfere with your child’s vision or breathing
• Pick brightly colored costumes that can be clearly seen by motorists or add reflective tape to increase visibility
• Dress for the weather—make sure children can fit warm clothing over or under their costumes in order to keep them warm and dry!
2. Avoid danger when decorating
Help children carve pumpkins to avoid injuries Candles, jack-o-lanterns, lighters, and matches are all fire hazards. Keep them away from flammable objects
3. Stay alert while trick-or-treating
Keep your children safe by teaching them to stay visible and to be aware of their surroundings.
4. Be cautious with candy and toys
Always examine treats and toys that are brought home before giving them to your children.
