The OPP is urging everyone to make safety a priority this Labour Day long weekend.
Over the past 10 years, Labour Day weekend has been the deadliest long weekend on OPP-patrolled roads, trails and waterways, with 69 collisions and 76 fatalities since 2015.
Police say most of those deaths involved impaired driving, speeding, inattention or not properly wearing a seatbelt or helmet, while nearly all water-related fatalities involved people not wearing a lifejacket.
The OPP will be out across the province conducting education and enforcement.
Drivers are also reminded to call 9-1-1 when it’s safe to report suspected impaired or dangerous drivers.
