Build a Kit
Fewer than half of Canadian households have an emergency kit. Having an emergency kit with at least three days of supplies can keep you safe and help you deal with unexpected situations.
Building a kit doesn’t have to be hard and doesn’t have to be done all at once.
• When you are grocery shopping, add some non-perishable food items to your cart.
• When tidying up at home, store any extra items with your emergency supplies.
• Make sure your emergency kit is easy to access and kept in a place that everyone in your household knows about.

REDUCE SPEED IN CONSTRUCTION ZONES: Designated construction zones are established to reduce speed limits as a preventive measure to protect the safety and well-being of workers and motorists. The Highway Traffic Act gives municipalities authority to designate construction zones on roads in their jurisdictions and provides the ability to double fines for speeding in designated construction zones when workers are present. This makes it easier for municipalities to reduce enforceable speed limits.
Once designated by an authorized individual, a construction zone must be marked with signs in accordance with the regulation.
Please slow down and observe posted speeds in designated zones. Stay safe! ... See MoreSee Less
