Victim Services Bruce Gray Perth, along with the Alzheimer Society of Gray-Bruce, South Bruce Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), Gray Bruce OPP, West Gray Police Service and Owen Sound Police Service, announce the launch of Project Lifesaver in Bruce and Gray Counties.
Project Lifesaver is a proactive program for wandering people who may not be able to get home. Program participants wear a personalized one-ounce bracelet that emits a continuous radio frequency that can be tracked by a Project Lifesaver receiver.
Selected police officers who have been qualified as Project Lifesaver Electronic Search Specialists operate the radio frequency-based location system. Project Lifesaver uses proven technology that enables first responders to quickly locate a migrant and bring them back to their families.
Time is of the essence in missing persons investigations; The longer someone is absent, the greater the concern for their well-being:
- If the missing person is someone living with a cognitive diagnosis such as dementia, it increases the urgency of the search. Keeping track of the radio frequency assigned to them not only helps locate them in time; their frequency helps the responders identify them.
- In autumn and winter, when there is less daylight and lower temperatures, the urgency of the search increases, especially if a winter storm is forecast.
- Bruce and Gray Counties have large bush lots and large agricultural lots that take time to find. With a radio frequency for tracking, the emergency services receive proven technology to quickly locate a missing person and reunite them with their families.

TIME TO PREPARE FOR SAFE DRIVING IN WINTER
The snow has returned to Southern Bruce County and the South Bruce Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) wants to make sure drivers are prepared for winter driving.
Strong winds combined with snowfall cause serious visibility problems for motorists along the shoreline of Lake Huron. Bruce County’s residents and visitors alike face some of the harshest driving conditions every winter.
Here are some tips for safe winter driving:
– Solid snow and ice reduce traction. Drifting snow affects your vision. Allow more time in winter to reach your destination.
-Snow tires are marked with a pointed mountain and a snowflake to show that they meet the specific requirements for snow traction performance. Improved traction = improved safety.
– Carry a whisk / ice scraper in your vehicle. The law provides a $ 110 fine for the driver who does not have a clear view, but the consequences can be far worse if you hit someone.
-Does your vehicle have a survival kit if you are stranded? A kit list is available online at www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/safety/winterdrive.

– Drivers are encouraged to check road and weather conditions before They travel. Road information is available online at www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/traveller/trip or by calling 1 800 268 4686.
Modern vehicles with electronic traction control, anti-lock brakes, and winter tires help you stay in control, but these gear are much more effective when you reduce your speed.
Always adapt your driving style to the changing road and weather conditions; a normal driver reacts to road situations, while a good driver anticipates and avoids a crisis on the road.
Slow down, stay vigilant, stay in control and get to your destination safely.
