Buckle up this Easter Long Weekend
Between Friday, April 2, 2021, and Monday, April 5, 2021, members of the Killaloe Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) will be participating in a Provincial Traffic Safety Campaign with an emphasis on Seatbelt compliance.
Road users should expect to see a much higher volume of traffic in the Killaloe Detachment area over this upcoming Easter long weekend. This makes it a particularly important weekend for all drivers, passengers, and young children to be properly restrained within a vehicle, regardless of the duration of the trip.
Everyone travelling in a motor vehicle must properly wear a seatbelt and children must be properly secured in a child car seat. Drivers are responsible for ensuring all passengers under the age of 16 are properly secured in either a seat belt or child car seat.
Failing to ensure seatbelt compliance, could result in a fine totaling $240 dollars and 2 demerit points.
Members of the Killaloe OPP Detachment are committed to public safety, delivering proactive and innovative policing in partnership with our communities. Officers value your contribution to building safe communities. The Killaloe OPP would like to wish everyone a safe and Happy Easter. Let’s work together and make our roadways this Easter long weekend the safest in Canada.
