Winter Safety Tips to Keep You Protected

Canadian winters are breathtaking, but they also demand extra care when traveling or preparing for the season. Here are some practical tips to keep you safe:

1. Prepare Your Vehicle:

  • Install Winter Tires: Ensure your car has proper winter tires for better grip on icy roads.
  • Stock an Emergency Kit: Include essentials like a flashlight, blanket, water, non-perishable snacks, and a first-aid kit.
  • Check Your Battery: Cold weather can weaken your car battery. Have it tested before the winter chill hits.

2. Drive with Caution:

  • Slow Down: Reduce speed during snowy or icy conditions.
  • Keep a Safe Distance: Maintain extra space between you and the car in front of you to allow for longer stopping distances.
  • Clear Snow and Ice: Always remove snow from your windows, mirrors, and roof to ensure visibility and safety.

3. Stay Safe at Home:

  • Prevent Slips and Falls: Keep sidewalks and driveways clear of snow and ice. Use salt or sand to improve traction.
  • Be Ready for Power Outages: Stock up on batteries, flashlights, and warm blankets in case of emergencies.
  • Inspect Heating Systems: Ensure your furnace and chimney are in good working order to avoid carbon monoxide risks.
