Other traffic enforcement resulted in numerous charges under the Highway Traffic Act: 40 for speeding, 2 for failing to wear a seatbelt, and 39 for other offences.
“This year was pretty much comparable to other years,” noted Constable Rob Tuff. “Whereas the numbers for calls for service to site as well as the traffic enforcement that was done in the area.”
