Local police will be watching for proper seatbelt use over the Easter weekend.
While she says proper seatbelt use is a priority at all times of the year, Superior East Ontario Provincial Police Constable Ashley Nickle explains the local detachment's joining in a province-wide seatbelt safety campaign.
Nickle reminds seatbelts must be worn by all vehicle occupants.
Constable Nickle emphasizes seatbelts should be worn at all times, noting no matter how careful you are, you never know when you might encounter a distracted, impaired, or aggressive driver on the road.
Nickle also warns lack of - or improper - seatbelt use is one of the leading causes of traffic deaths in Ontario.
The Easter Long Weekend Seatbelt Campaign runs from Good Friday through Easter Monday.
