    The RNC will be focusing and monitoring motor vehicle safety this Labour Day weekend. Cst James Cadigan says impaired operation accounts for 40 percent  of marine-related fatalities. He says impaired boating, like impaired operation of a motor vehicle, is a criminal offence that can have repercussions far beyond the loss of your boating privileges. Cadigan says ATV’s are popular during Labour Day weekend and people need to be safe. He says when driving on our highways allow plenty of time to get to your destination as scheduled, and slow down on wet roads.
