Ontario Provincial Police are hitting the roads for the long weekend.
As increased traffic's expected - especially as it's the final long weekend of the summer - Superior East OPP Constable Ashley Nickle says officers will be focusing on the "Big Four" driving offences over the Labour Day weekend.
Constable Nickle notes the goal is to educate the public on the importance of safe driving behaviours and increase public compliance - in order to enhance traffic safety, reducing injuries and deaths - with a message for everyone heading out.
Meanwhile, Ontario Power Generation's reminding boaters and swimmers to "stay clear, stay safe" this long weekend.
OPG's warning that - while you may feel you understand the risks - conditions for riverbeds below dams can change quickly and without warning, emphasizing it's important to obey warning signs, fencing, and safety booms when approaching hydroelectric facilities.
