11 Essential Halloween Safety Tips From Peterborough Police

Peterborough Police want everyone to have a fun and safe Halloween! Please share these safety tips from them with children and young adults who will be trick-or-treating...
 
1. Only visit houses with the lights on
2. Never enter a stranger’s home unless with a parent or responsible adult
3. Use face paint or makeup instead of a mask, and wear costumes that are short so you don’t trip
4. Never take shortcuts through backyards, parks or laneways
5. Stay away from lit pumpkins and other potential fire hazards while in costume
6. Don’t eat any treats unless they are first checked by a parent or responsible adult
7. Carry a glow stick or flashlight, and stay alert and be aware of what is going on around you
8. Obey all traffic signs!
9. Trick-or-Treat in a group; it’s safer and more fun! Young children should always be accompanied by an adult
10. Always walk on the sidewalk and not on the street
11. Watch out for cars. It can be difficult for drivers to see you when it’s dark

PTBOCanada Featured Post: A Look At Premiere Studio Of Dance

With the end of the summer upon us, parents and kids alike are in scramble mode. Gone are the leisurely days, replaced by hectic school schedules and after school activities.

This has many parents looking to get their children involved in something each season to keep them engaged and active. If you’re searching for something new to get your children into, look no further than Premiere Studio of Dance and all it has to offer!

Located at 1046 County Road 19, on the outskirts of Peterborough, the studio offers three beautifully renovated studios with professionally sprung hardwood floors and mirrors to fully enhance your child’s experience.

Opened originally in 2000 by Robyn Carter who is the head instructor, Premiere Studio of Dance is celebrating its 15th and most exciting season yet!

Easily the city’s largest and most prestigious dance school, it is now home to 10 fully certified B.A.T.D. instructors (British Association of Teachers of Dancing) who are continuously learning and updating their qualifications as well.

Offering classes for all ages (toddlers to adults) and skill levels (beginner to competitive), this season Premiere Studio of Dance is offering more classes than ever. The classes you’ll find are:

• Ballet
• Tap
• Hip hop
• Jazz
• Acro
• Modern
• Contemporary
• Musical theatre/Broadway

Whether they are a beginner student who simply wants to have fun and stay active, or a seasoned veteran who is looking to hone their skills and further a future career, each pupil's needs are catered to in order to create an unforgettable experience.

With a proven record of success, Premiere Studio of Dance is second to none. Dancers from the program have gone on to do some pretty incredible things, including being accepted into elite post-secondary arts schools, winning prestigious competitions at high levels, teaching and choreographing as a career, and even going on to a career as a professional dancer!

If a dancer is looking for more of a challenge, Premiere offers a competitive dance program which is the strongest in Eastern Ontario.

The competitive team offers 2 levels based on the amount of classes offered each week. Dancers can participate by taking as few as 3 classes per week.

Competitive dance classes can be quite demanding, but in the end are incredibly rewarding for both the student and parents alike!

At the season's end, there is a final recital which is a celebration of all things learned throughout the year. Each student receives a progress report with important feedback to aid in their growth as a dancer.
