Canada Road Safety Week
As Canada Road Safety Week starts today, it's important to reflect on the importance of safe driving practices and how we can all contribute to making our roads safer.
This week, law enforcement across the country is coming together to raise awareness about the dangers of impaired and distracted driving, speeding, and other risky behaviors that can lead to devastating consequences.
As a community, it's up to us to do our part to promote road safety. Whether it's by buckling up, avoiding distractions while driving, or making the choice to never get behind the wheel wen impaired, every little action can make a difference and help save lives.
