School is back in session! We want to remind drivers to be mindful when approaching school buses that may be loading or unloading children. You cannot pass a school bus that has their red lights flashing and stop sign extended. Please ensure you are using extra caution when approaching a stopped bus, as there may be children crossing the street or around the bus.

We also want to remind drivers that school zone/playground zones are in effect and the speed limit is 30 km/h. Be mindful when driving in school and playground zones, especially in the early mornings or late afternoons. Drive the speed limit, to ensure you are able to brake and come to a stop quickly if needed.

With winter approaching, many will be getting ready to store their recreational trailers and off-highway vehicles for the winter. When getting ready to park your trailer in storage for the winter, ensure that all doors and compartments are locked. As well ensure you have a trailer hitch lock as well. This makes it harder for potential thieves to enter your recreational trailer or steal the entire trailer while you may not be checking on it as often. As always do not store valuables in your trailer over the winter to minimize the potential for thefts. As for protecting your off-highway vehicles while being stored, empty all gas from the tank and block the vehicle so it cannot be easily removed from the premise.

As always, report any suspicious activity to your local RCMP Detachment, 24/7:

  • Turner Valley RCMP – 403-933-4262
  • High River RCMP – 403-652-2356
  • Okotoks RCMP – 403-938-4202

Stay safe and keep any eye out for one another.
