You’re being reminded about some safety tips as we head into a busy stretch of days.
This is the Labour Day long weekend and OPP say it’s often a very busy time for last minute travels, coming home from the cottage, moving college and university students and back to school shopping.
They are asking you to give yourself a little more time while traveling and ensure to follow the rules of the road.
After the long weekend, it’s time for many students to head back to school and parents, students, school staff and commuters all have a shared responsibility to ensure everyone gets to and from school safely.
Parents and guardians, are urged to review with the children in their care about safety when travelling to and from school whether by vehicle, bus, bike or walking.
While the start of a new school year brings excitement to communities, police are committed to ensuring everyone’s safety by educating and enforcing safety laws.
