MEDIA INVITATION TO OPP SPEED INDICATOR SIGN PROGRAM LAUNCH

 

As Community Services Officer for the Manitoulin O.P.P. Detachment, and on behalf of the members of the Manitoulin Injury Prevention Coalition, I would like to invite the media to attend the launch of our recently purchased radar speed indicator sign.

 

As you may be aware, the Coalition has been the lead agency, working closely with the Manitoulin O.P.P., in an effort to obtain funding for a radar speed indicator sign.  I am pleased to report that after a year and a half of diligently working on this project, the sign has finally been purchased, and the O.P.P. are ready to launch their traffic safety plan.

 

This sign will be used across Manitoulin Island in a joint public education and enforcement program to educate the public about the dangers of speeding.  Other police services who have utilized the signs have found them to be an extremely useful tool in the reduction of vehicles traveling at excessive speeds through small communities.

 

You are cordially invited to attend the launch and unveiling of the new speed indicator sign, which will take place on Wednesday, May 21st, 2008 at 10:00 a.m. at the Little Current – Howland Recreation Centre located on Highway 6 in Little Current.
