As the school year begins please be extra cautious when driving through school zones. Our children's safety is paramount, and following the applicable speed laws are crucial to ensure their well-being.

Remember to reduce your speed to the posted limit, watch for crossing guards, and be vigilant for children who may not always be paying attention to traffic. Let's work together to make our community's school zones safe for everyone.

Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to keeping our kids safe!

The essence of effective driving lies in proactivity rather than reactivity. With the arrival of winter driving conditions, we are pleased to announce the forthcoming of our October Graduated Licensing Program (GLP) tailored to train both teenagers and adults in equipping themselves for the intricacies of navigating challenging winter roads, diving deep into defensive driving techniques. Our comprehensive program includes classroom sessions scheduled to commence on October 14th.

The GLP curriculum encompasses:
- 18 hours of in-class training
- 14 hours of in-car training

We believe that by enrolling in our GLP, participants will be better equipped to navigate all driving conditions with confidence and skill. Your participation in this program can pave the way for safer journeys for all road users.
