This year, for the Canada Road Safety Strategy 2025, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is promoting and enforcing laws around safety equipment for the annual Canada Day campaign, which is running from Friday, June 21 through Monday, July 1, 2024.
During this time, the Brant OPP will be focusing on increasing public awareness and compliance with safe driving practices, specifically targeting the “Big Four” factors related in death and injuries on our highways, trails and waterways which include impaired driving, aggressive driving, distracted driving, and lack of occupant restraint/safety equipment.
Canada Day Week also has a focus on Off Road Vehicle (ORV) and Motorcycle Helmet use, Marine personal flotation devices and safety equipment compliance.
Police will be patrolling our roadways, waterways and trails providing education or enforcement as necessary, to ensure everyone safely arrives at their destinations.
