Impaired driving has no borders, and today neither did our team. Partnering with MADD Durham Region we attended Albert College with the support of Belleville Police Service - Traffic Safety Unit and delivered our message of road safety to some amazing students and faculty. An emotional and rewarding day was had by all ^bb

When I heard that several Durham Regional Police officers helped save a child from a burning building, I joined MPP Patrice Barnes and Lorne Coe to express our thanks in person.

125 km/hr on Ashburn Rd in Town of Whitby, ON - a posted 60 zone - means someone is without their car for 14 days, and loses their licence for 30… absolutely unacceptable. ^bb
