BEST WISHES FOR A SAFE HOLIDAY

North Bay, Ont.
North Bay, Mattawa and Powassan OPP officers will be working in the area keeping our communities safe throughout the festive season.

As you and your families celebrate the Holiday, it will be ‘business as usual’ for officers, as they will be monitoring traffic on our highways and area roads, as well as responding to incidents as requested.

Please be patient with our officers as you approach the Festive R.I.D.E. check; they are preventing a tragedy that could effect us all. Utilize a designated driver or taxi if you choose to consume alcohol.

Please plan your trips prior to visiting your families and friends throughout the area and province. Your trip may take a little longer because of changing weather conditions. Be prepared and slow down and make sure you and your passengers are buckled up. Your friends and relatives want you to arrive alive.

On behalf of the Detachment Commander, Staff Sergeant Rob McDonald, the North Bay, Mattawa and Powassan OPP would like to wish you and your families ‘Best Wishes and enjoy a Safe Holiday’ throughout this Festive Season.
