Halloween is the highlight of the year for many kids, and happy little goblins, witches and superheroes will be let loose around Warman this evening. They will be excited to show off their awesome costumes and get free candy - what’s better than that, really? And even though everyone loves a good scare on Halloween, not so when considering the safety of our kids. There are a few things we can remember to help everyone have a safe and enjoyable evening.
As a driver, please be extra cautious while kids are out Trick or Treating. Drive slowly, anticipate kids being everywhere and turn your headlights on earlier in the day. Kids in costumes can be more difficult to see. Stop ahead of an intersection to let people cross safely, and keep an eye out all along the street, especially at alleyways and when turning. Children are excited on Halloween and may move in unpredictable ways. When heading out Trick or Treating, get a group together. It’s a lot of fun and a safer way to go. Younger children should be still accompanied by an adult (groups can make it more fun for the adults as well), but if older kids are heading out without an adult with them, have them share their planned route with their family, set agreed-to boundaries and be home on time.
Remember that, even though it’s Halloween, some people might not want to be disturbed. A good rule of thumb is to visit homes that have the outside light on – that's a sign the house is happy to receive Trick or Treaters. Don't persistently ring someone's doorbell, knock on their door or return to their house later. If they don't answer, it's best to move on.
Don't forget to stop in at the senior care homes, as they love to see the kids in their costumes! If you’re staying home to hand out candy, enjoy all the excitement that Halloween brings to your door but be mindful that there may be kids with special needs, some of whom may be non-verbal. Be patient! Also, if you have some high school kids coming to your door asking for food donations, they are from Warman High School collecting items for the Warman Food Bank as part of the We Scare Hunger campaign. (Maybe they should get some candy, too!) All in all, keep safety in mind, but the most important thing is to make memories with your family and friends, have some laughs and a lot of fun! Happy Halloween!

High school students in Warman will be out 'Trick or Treating' on Halloween this year for a good cause. They are participating in a campaign by Free The Children called "We Scare Hunger." They are looking for donations of any type of non-perishable food items instead of candy which they will pass on to St. John's Lutheran Church for the Warman Food Bank.
So if some Trick or Treaters come to your door who seem like they might be a little too old, keep an open mind and open your door to them. Support these students in their We Scare Hunger campaign by giving them a food donation if you can. The campaign is meant to raise awareness about hunger in our community.
The students participating from Warman High School thank you for your support!

Clean up that hazardous clutter!
Warman, it is time to clear out your hazardous waste! The annual Household Hazardous Waste Day is set for operation from 9am to 3pm on Saturday October 19th, 2019 at the Warman Fire Hall (501 Centennial Blvd). This annual event allows Warman residents to dispose of household hazardous waste items, electronics (e-waste) and rimless scrap tires. The goal is to divert chemicals, liquids and environment threatening items from being disposed in landfills or other methods.
