Prepare for Changes to Ontario’s Road Rules With CAA’s Heads Up!
Over the past year we’ve shared a number of updates regarding upcoming changes to Ontario’s Highway Traffic Act, namely around expanded penalties for distracted driving, adding tow trucks to the existing Slow Down Move Over legislation, and new safety measures for cycling.
All three of these issues were key subjects in Bill 31, also known as the Making Ontario’s Roads Safer Act which passed in June 2015. CAA has long advocated for many items within the bill, namely stronger penalties for distracted driving and for the added protection of tow trucks drivers while working on Ontario’s roads. We are pleased that these changes are slated to come into effect on Tuesday, September 1, 2015.
Earlier this summer, CAA launched a campaign to help educate its members, and all road users, entitled Heads Up! The goal of the campaign is to raise awareness and educate drivers about new laws and regulations following the passing of the Making Ontario’s Roads Safer Act. The websiteprovides safety tips and details about the changes in legislation. A series of radio and transit advertisements also highlight the new rules.
CAA officially launched Heads Up! at an event on July 27, where we were joined by representatives from the Ontario Provincial Police, Toronto Police Service, and York Regional Police, along with Ontario’s Minister of Transportation, the Hon. Steven Del Duca.
SGC From our Inbox to You .. From SomofUs Re: Shell proposal to dig off of Nova Scotia… without having to cap a blow out for 3 weeks…. ?? The rest of the article can be found by clicking on the link… there is also a petition available for signage..
This is Shell’s dream. The Canadian government just gave it permission to drill for oil off Nova Scotia’s cost — and the company doesn’t need to cap an oil blowout for 21 days.
Are they kidding? Shell will be allowed to freely spill oil into the ocean for three weeks — potentially wreaking environmental havoc on Nova Scotia’samazing marine life, major fishing grounds, coastal communities and the Sable Island National Park Reserve, the world’s largest breeding colony of grey seals.
And it’s all so Shell can save a few bucks by not having to keep safety equipment nearby.
The U.S. requires oil companies to cap blowouts within 24 hours. Canada is giving Shell three weeks to bring equipment in from Norway after a blowout happens — 5,000 kilometres away. Please Click here to read the rest of this article.
The SumOfUs community has stood up to Big Oil’s destruction of the environment, and we’ve had a major impact. Hundreds of thousands of us came together to stop Shell from drilling in the Arctic, and to demand that Chevron pay for its crimes in the Amazon. Now, let’s stand together to keep Shell out of Nova Scotia.
