With so many excited children about, safety is our top priority.
Reduced Speed Limits: For the duration of the event, road speeds throughout the O Streets will be limited to 25 km/h.
For Drivers: Please be incredibly patient, watch for little witches and zombies who might step out unexpectedly, or avoid the O Streets entirely during the event if you can. Remember, cars weigh more than people and can be a real risk in crowded areas.

A Spooky Footnote: Did you know? The unique "O Street" names (Omrah, Ophir, Orontes, etc.) are a nod to the steam ships of the historic Orient Steam Navigation Company, giving our neighbourhood its unique and historic character.
