Safety first when trick or treating in Lions Bay
With a more than a 60 percent chance of rain, extra care should be taken to keep Hallowe'en adventures safe this year.
Make sure small goblins wear something reflective so they can be seen, and remember to drive cautiously through neighbourhood streets and keep an eye out for excited trick or treaters.
Sea to Sky Whistler RCMP have issued a news release encouraging drivers to stay alert, and suggest trick or treaters wear costumes that allow them to be visible while out and about.
Lions Bay Village office will be open to spooky visitors from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and you can also take a peek at the entries to this year's pumpkin carving contest, displayed in the windows of the Village Hall.
Lions Bay Fire Rescue (LBFR) members will patrol village streets in the firetruck with special treats for any goblins they come across in the early evening.
Later, the LBFR crew will oversee the fireworks display that will begin, rain or shine, down at the beach at 8 p.m.
The fireworks display is free for all, but donations can be made on site or online HERE, with all money collected going to support LBFR.
And a final reminder that Lions Bay Bear Smart is asking all pumpkins be brought inside by 10 p.m., in order to avoid offering local bears an inadvertent Hallowe'en snack.
Stay safe Lions Bay, and Happy Hallowe'en!
