With many people bustling to make the long weekend as “Long” as possible drivers are reminded to pay attention to issues that can cause accidents. Saskatchewan holds the record for the least safe roads in Canada. Marie Schulz Communication Consultant for SGI states, “We unfortunately hold one of the titles as the least safe roads in the country”.

Issues like Distracted Driving, Impairment due to Alcohol or Illegal drugs, Speeding, Seat Belts and Child Restraints, and Fatigue have been the focus of an advertising campaign that started earlier in the week. It is hoped that drivers take extra precautions during the holiday weekend travel to make sure none of these could be a factor in an accident.

SGI is looking to have a clean weekend as all of these factors can be eliminated if we just take time to drive safe and keep everyone safe.
