🌾 Harvest season is here in Ontario, and farmers are busy bringing in their crops. We remind both farmers and the public to stay alert, slow down, and be patient.
Let’s all do our part: share the road, stay in your lane, and only pass when it’s safe to do so ✅.
Together, we can ensure everyone gets home safely ❤️. #ontag
