Ontario Provincial Police are calling on residents to stay safe on roads and highways this long weekend.
According to OPP, as of mid-August, 214 people have died on OPP-patrolled roads this year, with speeding, alcohol/drugs, driver inattention and lack of seat belt use accounting for a significant number of the fatalities.
The motoring public can expect to see an increased OPP presence across the province.
OPP is also counting on boaters, paddlers and off-roaders to use waterways and trails safely.
They call on those users to wearing a life jacket on the water and a helmet on the trail.
