Every year the Thunder Bay Police Service, in conjunction with the Zone Watch program, puts together a Halloween safety display and a winter coat drive.
The Halloween safety display is a kid-friendly zone assembled at the side of the Thunder Bay Police Service headquarters. Children attending received treats, while the parents accompanying them receive seasonal safety information.
Meanwhile, alongside the safety display, Zone Watch volunteers and officers collect donated coats from the pubic. These coats are given to people being released from 1200 Balmoral Street who may not be ideally equipped to handle the winter weather.
Coats remaining at the end of the season are then forwarded to the Shelter House.
