🕸️This officer has been waiting all year to share some Halloween Safety Tips that never get old:
🚗Drive slowly in residential areas stay alert for children crossing the street. Remind children to stay aware of their surroundings, use sidewalks where available and cross the street safely.
🕯️Keep walkways, steps and entrances clear of obstacles to help prevent slips, trips and falls. Consider using battery operated or flameless candles instead of open flames and keep pets where they will be comfortable and secure. 🐕
🎃Choose costumes that are easy to see in low light, add something reflective or carry flashlights or glow sticks to increase visibility in the dark. 🔦
🍬Parents and caregivers should inspect treats before they are eaten. Discard anything that appears tampered with, damaged, or unsealed.
Not everyone celebrates Halloween, a common practice is to leave outside lights off to indicate a home is not participating in Halloween trick or treating. Respecting your neighbours’ choices help make Halloween a positive experience for everyone.
🦴No bones about it, a little planning can help make Halloween safe and fun for everyone. Be safe and have an awesome Halloween!

October 27, 2026. OTTAWA, ON. The Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC) welcomes the unanimous adoption of Bill S-210 An Act respecting Ukrainian Heritage Month, by the House of Commons. Once the Act receives Royal Asset, September will be officially designated Ukrainian Heritage Month in Canada.

“We thank all Members of Parliament for supporting this important legislation. Thank you to former Senator Stan Kutcher for sponsoring the Bill in the Senate and Member of Parliament Yvan Baker for introducing the Bill in the House,” stated Alexandra Chyczij, National President of the UCC. “We look forward to celebrating the rich Ukrainian culture and traditions with all Canadians next September. Многая Літа!”

Bill S-210 passed unanimously in the House of Commons on October 21. Once the Bill receives Royal Assent, September will be established as Ukrainian Heritage Month in Canada. The Bill recognizes “the significant contributions that Ukrainian-Canadians have made and continue to make to Canada’s social, economic, political and cultural fabric.”

Attending the vote on adoption of the Bill in the House, UCC CEO Danylo Korbabicz stated, “The Ukrainian people are heroically defending the values of democracy and freedom that both Ukrainians and Canadians share. It is all the more important that we remember and honour Ukrainian heritage and that Canada continues to stand with Ukraine.”

Fraudsters will impersonate anybody to take advantage of Canadians, including the RCMP.

They may:
• Send false delivery notices for court documents
• Accuse you of serious crimes
• Demand payment to bail a loved one out of jail

The RCMP will never send these messages. They are designed to create a false sense of urgency and pressure you into clicking suspicious links, sending money to unverified sources, or sharing personal information.

Don’t let fear rush you into acting. Take time to verify the source before responding. Learn more about frauds impersonating the RCMP and what to watch for: https://ow.ly/BvJh50ZY1MB

⚡SAFETY MOMENT: A power line on the ground might look harmless, but it can still be energized and extremely dangerous. Even if it isn’t sparking, making noise, or causing a power outage.

Whether you’re walking, driving, or out with your family, knowing what to do could save a life.

Remember these 4 steps:

STOP: Never approach or touch a downed power line.

STAY BACK: Keep at least 10 metres away, and stay clear of anything the line is touching, including trees, fences and vehicles. Pay special attention to keep children and pets away. When it comes to downed power lines, there’s no safe distance that’s too cautious. Stay back. Stay safe.

SPEAK UP: Warn others to keep away, but don’t put yourself at risk.

CALL FOR HELP: Report the hazard to your electricity provider. For immediate danger, call 911. Never attempt to move a wire or remove a tree or other object touching it.

Have you talked with your family about what to do if they encounter a downed power line? Share this reminder to help keep our communities safe.
