When clearing your driveway of snow, please don't deposit snow onto the roadway. It creates a dangerous situation for drivers and it is an offence under the Highway Traffic Act of Ontario.

Take your time while shovelling and don't overexert yourself.

Hope your holidays were great, #tbay! It might be a New Year, but please continue to wear those masks & socially distance. A reminder to our own members: As cool as your Mandalorian helmet might be (and it’s a pretty great Christmas flex) it cannot replace your service-issued PPE

❄️Just because the season seems a bit early, doesn't mean you can ignore it. Motorists: Give yourself space, time and make sure you've cleared all that snow off your vehicle before driving. ❄️

Stay safe, Thunder Bay.

One-inch thick copper pipe dragging down the highway is probably not a safe thing. Out-of-province tractor-trailer driver charged. Drive safely, #tbay @tbpsmedia

Have fun, but stay safe. If you celebrate Canada Day with booze or weed (or both), please find yourself a safe ride home.

107 km/h in a 50 km/h? You better believe that's a ticket (and a stunt-driving charge, and a seven-day impound).

[Thunder Bay Police @tbpsmedia]

29 days, 29 motorists charged for impaired driving. Not a good statistic. Please, if you are impaired by drug OR alcohol, find a safe ride home.

Today, an amazing man and enthusiastic Special Olympics supporter; Cst. Cory Trainor is put to rest. His passion for LETR and Special Olympics was contagious, always going the extra mile for the athletes.

Rest in peace, Cory. We will never forget you.

Hmmm....this doesn’t look normal. Transport truck losing a couple wheels during its travels is never a good thing. Luckily no one was struck by two errant tires. Driver and company charged. #wheeloff @ONtransport @tbpsmedia
