Halloween safety tips

Oct. 31 is Halloween and the Town of Georgina encourages everyone to enjoy a safe evening. Pedestrians are reminded to use extra caution, stay aware of their surroundings and make themselves visible to motorists. Drivers are asked to slow down and watch for children crossing the road.


York Regional Police recommend the following safety tips:

  • Avoid masks that block vision, face paint or makeup is safer.
  • Add reflective items to dark costumes for better visibility.
  • Remind children not to eat treats until they are checked at home.
  • Be mindful of food allergies when sending candy to school.

Truth and Reconciliation

Miigwech to everyone who attended this year's Truth and Reconciliation event held in partnership with the Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation. The event included inspiring speakers, smudging and a flag raising. Education, awareness and building respectful relationships are crucial for fostering true reconciliation. Learn more about the Town's journey towards reconciliation at georgina.ca/TruthandReconciliation.
