Parents can breathe a sigh of relief this October as Rogers Communications Inc. recently announced that it will launch its Halloween safety program, the Rogers Pumpkin Patrol, for the first time in Greater Sudbury, said a news release.
The Rogers Pumpkin Patrol teaches children in grades two and three about the importance of Halloween safety, and is made possible through a partnership with local police and Rogers employee volunteers. The Patrol is in its 23rd year in regions in Ontario, New Brunswick and Newfoundland where Rogers cable is offered.
Throughout the month of October, the Rogers Pumpkin Patrol will conduct Halloween safety sessions at schools across the country. In addition to learning about the importance of Halloween safety, students will receive safety loot packs containing a reflective armband and a safety tip flyer to take with them on the big night.
