TORONTO, Oct. 10 /CNW/ -WHAT: The 24th Annual Rogers Pumpkin Patrol program aims to educate
parents and their children about the importance of Halloween
safety. During the month of October, local police and Rogers
employee volunteers team up to visit grade two and three classes
in schools throughout the GTA. In addition to learning important
safety tips from the volunteers and the police, students receive
loot packs containing a reflective armband and a safety tip flyer
to take with them on the big night. Parents and their children can
feel at ease for another year knowing that Halloween school safety
sessions will continue and red Rogers vans are ready to patrol
neighbourhoods on Halloween for the 24th year.
