Owen Sound– Larry Miller, MP for Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound, is pleased to see that Transport Canada has opened the vehicle entry gates at the south end of the east side of the Owen Sound harbour.
On July 17th, Mr. Miller was informed that officials from Transport Canada closed and locked the vehicle entrance gate. The closure of the gate appeared to be in response to Miller's request to have the road on the east side of the harbour graded. Miller publicly called on Transport Canada to grade the road and reopen the gates. The road on the east side of the harbour has now been graded and the vehicle gate is to remain open unless there is reason to believe there is a safety concern for the public.
ORILLIA– Police officers within the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Central Region have been working hard this summer to continue with a summer long seasonal education program which is focused on water safety. The "OPP Challenge" is focused on boat owners and boaters to wear a personal floatation device (PFD) at all times while out on the water.
"Water safety is a shared responsibility and any water related death that involves drowning is preventable especially when life jackets or PFD's are used. Having a PFD available on your boat is not simply enough – you need to be wearing it at all times" says Chief Superintendent John Tod, Regional Commander of the OPP Central Region.
