NEWS RELEASE
ONTARIO PROVINCIAL POLICE
************************
This Thanksgiving Weekend members of the Southern Georgian Bay Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) along with our community safety partners - Ontario Federation of ATV Clubs (OFATV) and the North Simcoe Safe and Sober Awareness Committee (SAS) have a simple message for all Off Road Vehicle (ORV) operators to "NEVER DRIVE IMPAIRED".
Riders are also urged to have a plan to get home safely before you head for a day of riding and to wear all of the required personal safety equipment.
OPP officers on patrol remind all Off Road Vehicle (ORV) riders that an essential part of the enforcement job is to save lives and reduce injuries on our trails.
Through community partnerships with ORV organizations such as the OFATV and the Safe and Sober Awareness Committee, we strive to educate the public about safe ORV operation practices.
