❄️ MTI Safe Winter Driving Sessions – Thank You! ❄️

Last week, we hosted two free Safe Winter Driving workshops with MountainTransport Institute Ltd. — an afternoon session on November 25 and an evening session on November 27. Thank you to everyone from our community who came out to learn tips and techniques for staying confident and prepared on winter roads.

A huge thank you to Andy Roberts from MTI for facilitating these informative sessions, and to Tim Hortons Castlegar for generously sponsoring the coffee and doughnuts for our participants. ☕🍩

Driving safe is a community effort — we’re grateful to everyone who helped make these sessions possible! Stay safe out there this winter. ❄️🚗
