It’s party time! Be a responsible host.

• See guests in and out to assess their condition
• Never serve alcohol to a minor
• Keep cash and numbers for taxis on hand
• Stop serving alcohol 1 hour before the party ends

Around the house if you are going away

• Temporarily stop your mail and newspaper
• Arrange to have snow shoveled
• Discard packaging from big ticket items carefully
• Don’t broadcast being away on social media

Shop safely

• Don't withdraw more money than you require
• Don’t fall for deals which are too good to be true
• Park your car close to exits and in well lit areas
• Don’t use public WiFi to shop on

Heading out of town?

• Get a grip: with winter tires
• Be prepared: Pack an emergency kit, including a blanket, road flares, a candle, a small fire extinguisher and a first aid kit
• Cruise off: Avoid using cruise control and overdrive on slippery roadways
• Drive safely: Give yourself enough stopping distance, avoid any abrupt turns or maneuvers, and take your time
