Local OPP Watching for Proper Safety Equipment Amid Canada Day Safety Blitz

Ontario Provincial Police will be watching the roads, trails and waterways today and over the weekend.

While he notes the focus is on the "Big Four" - impaired, aggressive, and distracted driving, as well as lack of seatbelts - Superior East OPP Detective Constable Trevor Tremblay says officers will also be focused on the use of safety equipment.

Tremblay reminds officers will also be out on the water - watching for lifejacket use - and trails, where they'll be watching for helmets.
