[Millet Fire Dept 🇨🇦 @milletfire]

Please be patient as you pass through our beautiful little town! With only 2-lane roads into and out of Millet, traffic congestion from QEII closure leads to frustrated motorists who all-too-often make driving decisions fuelled by frustration & anger. #travelsafely #detour

[RCMP Alberta @RCMPAlberta]

#AlbertaRCMP in #Wetaskiwin are on scene of a motor vehicle collision on Hwy 2 at Hwy 616. Northbound lanes are closed. A detour has been set on Hwy 2A.

For up to date information, consult Alberta 511.

[Millet Fire Dept 🇨🇦 @milletfire]

Expect major delays while this rollover is cleared; if you’re travelling east through Millet on Hwy 616 as part of the detour, please travel slowly as 616 has partially snow covered and icy sections.

If you or your business would like to donate, we’ll gladly accept under these conditions:

Can’t make the drop-off? We will also accept monetary donations until October 15th (e-transfer ONLY to [email protected]). We’ll use accumulated funds to shop for goodies on your behalf. Put “Halloween” in the comment so we know to allocate the funds!
