As we approach the first long weekend of the season it is important to keep road safety top of mind.
This week is Canada Road Safety Week and it is an enforcement-driven initiative led by the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP) and specifically managed by the CACP’s Traffic Safety Committee.
Middlesex OPP Media Relations Officer, Jeff Hare explains the week.
Hare says we are all responsible when it comes to road safety
There’s an additional component – with construction season in full swing safety needs to be top of mind.

This initiative is part of the broader Canada’s Road Safety Strategy 2025, which strives to make Canada’s roads the safest in the world.
