Every decision behind the wheel matters. Last year, 34 people lost their lives in alcohol or drug related collisions on #OPP patrolled roads. These aren’t numbers, they are families forever changed. Choosing to drive sober protects everyone on our roads, including you and your loved ones.

#ONStorm #ONwx 🚌 PSA: Importance of Bus Cancellations ‼️ During the winter we often see comments like, “Why did they cancel buses? It’s not bad out there. Society is so weak these days.” Today is a reminder of why those decisions are made. Huron OPP responded to a crash this morning in Huron County near Seaforth involving a school bus and a transport truck. The drivers of both vehicles and two students on board were injured, but thankfully they are expected to make a full recovery. Our thoughts go out to those injured and hope for a speedy recovery. This crash could have been far worse if the bus had been full of students. According to the OPP, heavy fog was a factor in the collision. Fog is one of the most difficult weather hazards to predict because it can vary dramatically over very short distances. One area might have decent visibility while just a few kilometres away conditions can drop to near zero visibility. That appears to have been the case this morning. While many buses were cancelled across the region due to the risk of dense fog, some buses that were still running encountered these localized patches which created dangerous driving conditions. This post is not about blaming bus companies or school boards. These organizations have the extremely difficult task of making safety decisions hours in advance, often with incomplete information and constantly changing conditions. Their goal is simple, keep students safe. So the next time you see buses cancelled when conditions appear fine in your area, remember that the decision is based on the entire region, not just one neighbourhood. It might be clear and sunny in your backyard, but just down the road conditions could be drastically different. - Brennen Source: OPP

Could not be more proud of you, @TeamCanada.   You’re coming home with 21 hard-fought Olympic medals. Though what Canadians will remember most is how you wore the Maple Leaf: with pride, with grit, and with determination.

Putting together an emergency kit can seem like a lot of work at first, but don’t stress—our checklist will help you get started: Emergency kits: ow.ly/ZLQU50XWJLH #GetPrepared

Visibility isn't a luxury! It's your lifeline! #OPP reminding all drivers to turn ON their entire headlighting system. When the fog swallows the road, dont dissappear with it. Be bright, be visible and be safe. Drive safely everyone. #WROPP ^es

LOOK at this jaw dropping footage! This wasn't bad weather; this was zero visibility. This was a split second where everything went wrong! If YOU drive in whiteout conditions, you're gambling with lives- yours and everyone else's. #OPP urge drivers to stay off the roads during winter storms, and if you must drive - SLOW DOWN! #WROPP ^dr

This is your moment, Team Canada.    Get out there and seize it.

Heading outside? Remember: If there's ice below, take it slow. Walk like a penguin to prevent falls and injury. 🐧

To the family and friends of ICU nurse Alex Pretti, please share this tribute.

Canada will never be taken over. Not by China. Not by Trump. We will always be the TRUE NORTH strong and free. 🇨🇦

On 9/11, when I was U.S. Ambassador to #NATO, the very first country that came to our defense was #Canada. Canadian forces then fought with us in Afghanistan. Lesson for Americans: Treasure our allies. Respect them. They’re on our side.

Worth remembering that the first military deployment to the North American Arctic was when Canadians deployed to Alaska and the Aleutians Islands to help defend the United States. ‘That others may live’. 🇨🇦 Paul Goranson - RCAF Briefing at Kiska @CanWarMuseum

No matter how long your road trip is, an emergency car kit is an essential tool that can help keep you safe in any scenario. ow.ly/P93050XQ7e0 #GetPrepared.

Donald Trump scrapped free entry to National Parks on Martin Luther King Jr. Day and replaced it with his own birthday. California will not be following that path. I've directed @CAStateParks to offer free entry at more than 200 participating parks on MLK Day.
