Glow Sticks Made Available

Hundred of glow sticks are being made available to school children across the Rainy River district this week.

Grace Silander of Safe Communities Rainy River says it's a project spearheaded by the Family and Children Services Rainy River.

"There will be enough glow sticks for all of the students in the district," says Silander, "so that when they go out with their Halloween costumes on the glow stick will light up their costume so that people can see them and the drivers will be able to identify them."

The glow sticks will be distributed through schools, nurseries and day care centres as well as FACS offices.
