Canada day long weekend safety tips

Happy Canada Day. Long weekends are a great opportunity to plan a much needed getaway. While planning your trip, please remember the following important safety tips:

1. Slow down in the orange zones. Remember to slow to 60/km or abide by the speed limits posted.
2. Inspect your vehicle before you set out. Check your tires, gas, oil, and look for any damage that may be a hazard to you or other drivers.
3. Don’t drink and drive. This applies to all vehicles: boats, cars, ATV’s and recreational vehicles.
4. Be sun safe. Apply sunscreen frequently to avoid burns.
5. Protect yourself from insects.
