Safer City
Summer CounterAttack Campaign
This July and August, police are stepping up roadchecks to catch impaired drivers. Even if you've had a couple of drinks, it's not OK to drive.
BC's tough new drinking and driving laws take effect this fall and harsher penalties will begin at .05 BAC. We're reminding everyone, before you take that first sip, make a smart choice: designate a driver, save money for a cab or take transit.
We are all ambassadors for the CounterAttack campaign, and can help to influence others by encouraging people to make smart choices. When you're celebrating or relaxing with friends, help to keep our roads safe and have an enjoyable summer.

Safer School Travel Program
The Safer School Travel Program is an electronic web-based tool developed to assist Parent Advisory Committees (PAC’s) in developing School Road Safety Plans.
Every school should have a Road Safety Plan. A realistic and balanced approach is required between providing for the safety of children and the mobility of vehicles. The road safety plans should address:
- identifying all issues in the walk/cycle limits of a school
- strategies for all modes of transportation
- vehicle reduction initiatives
- engineering, education and enforcement measures
- parent and community initiatives

For more information about the Safer School Travel program, or to bring the program to your school, please contact Samantha Piper, Public Safety Specialist at 604-793-2766.
