If you need to go out into the community, please practice physical distancing and try to keep a distance of 2 metres (6 feet) between yourself and those around you.

We are in this together!

Each rail crossing has a blue and white emergency notification sign with a number to call in case of an emergency. When should you call?

1️⃣ When a car is stalled on the tracks
2️⃣ When something is blocking the tracks
3️⃣ When you need to alert an engineer to stop

[Canadian Red Cross @redcrosscanada]

It is normal to feel sad, stressed, confused, scared or angry during a crisis.

➡️Contacting your friends and family can help. #COVID19 #mentalhealth

Last week, the #OPP laid 92 #StuntDriving/Racing Charges on #OPP-patrolled roadways. Reduced traffic is not an excuse for #Speeding or #DangerousDriving.

Sadly, hundreds of preventable deaths occur each year as a result of trespassing on train tracks, and more than half of these incidents involve drugs or alcohol. Stay safe this New Year's Eve!

Stay awake, stay alert, stay off the tracks, and stay alive.
