Picking up a tradition that was on hiatus during the pandemic, members of the Central Okanagan Search and Rescue team will be out Monday night to make sure little ghosts and goblins are safe and sound.

“We will be patrolling around the South Mission area from Gordon Road and Paret Road to Canyon Middle school and all roads and neighborhoods in between,” COSAR representatives said in a press release.

“Please be on the lookout for our response vehicles with flashing yellow lights and members (dressed in yellow branded jackets) as they will be on the street giving out candy and giving anyone a safe place to go if something goes wrong.”

The aim of the patrol is to ensure that everyone has a safe and fun Halloween.
