Animal & Bylaw - Halloween
Partners for Safety
For the 21st year, On Oct. 31, the Calgary Partners for Safety will
be patrolling Calgary streets to give trick-or-treaters easy access
to help. That means more than 800 City vehicles will patrol
Calgary streets from 6pm to 8pm, making sure this will be a
safe Halloween. All children or adults who need assistance can
approach any City vehicle for help.
The program is designed to take a proactive approach to Halloween
safety and has two objectives:
• To provide Halloween safety information to parents and children.
• To patrol communities on Halloween night.
The Calgary Halloween Partners for Safety, coordinated by Calgary’s
Child Magazine, includes the Calgary Animal & Bylaw
Services, the Calgary Fire Department, the Calgary Police Service,
Calgary Transit, Emergency Medical Services, Calgary Public
Safety Communications (9-1-1) and Shaw Communications.
Between calls, Calgary Police Service and Emergency Medical Services
will have units patrolling residential neighbourhoods. This
will provide a high visibility for the youngsters trick-or-treating.
The Calgary Fire Department will also have vehicles on patrol, and
fire stations will be open as a safe place for our youngsters.
Calgary Transit’s buses and C-Trains are in the community providing
transit service from early morning until late at night.
If young trick-or-treaters need assistance, they can approach
any transit vehicle they spot. Each vehicle has a radio and in
an emergency, the bus or C-Train operator can contact the appropriate
emergency personnel.
Tips for safe trick or treating
• Wear bright and reflective costumes that do not drag on the
ground.
• Choose shoes that fit well and masks that do not limit vision.
• Children should plan their route and advise parents of where
they will be and when they will return.
• Remind children not to enter houses or cars.
• Be aware of your location at all times. Should you need to call
911, knowing your exact location will enable responders to
get to you quickly.
• Trick-or-treaters should visit houses on one side of the street
at a time and use cross walks to cross the street.
• Keep your home well lit for trick-or-treaters and clear your
walkway of debris and snow or ice.
• If driving on Halloween night, keep your speed to 20km/h in
all residential areas.

Alberta Bike Swap
Alberta Bike Swap is pleased to continue our series
of articles that will help improve your knowledge of
safe cycling. A good point to start to every month is
the reminder that safe cycling is up to all road users.
Stop means stop. As a cyclist, you must stop at every
red light, every stop sign, and yield at every yield sign.
You are at a distinct disadvantage on a bike if you run
a red light, other vehicles weigh more. Look at where
a stop sign is in an intersection road, they are set back
behind the sidewalk. It is very dangerous to ride on a
sidewalk, vehicles typically pull past the sidewalk before
they stop. If you are riding a bike on a sidewalk,
it is not only illegal, you are out of the line of sight for
drivers.
Mechanical safety tips for this month; from the A category
- make sure you have the right air pressure in
you tires. From the C category, keep your chain lubed.
A dry chain wears quickly and can let you down when
you need it most.
If a supply of our Safe Cycling card would help your
community group could, please email us at alberta
