RCMP Members will once again be conducting checkstops throughout the province in an effort to promote safe driving this holiday season.
This season’s RCMP Christmas Checkstop Program will begin on December 3, 2010 and finish on January 2, 2011.
The Swan River Detachment area had no traffic related fatalities in the 2009/2010 Christmas season, but did see 3 traffic related deaths in the 2008/2009 Christmas season – all alcohol related.
Drivers are reminded again this year to help protect their families, friends, and themselves by driving safe and by not drinking and driving.
