The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is advising the public of poor weather conditions expected to continue both in the North East Region and the North West Region of Ontario today.
Several communities may experience heavy rainfall, snowfall, whiteout conditions on open stretches of highway, and periods of freezing rain, resulting in slippery and icy road surfaces as well as delays due to unpredictable travel conditions.
Motorists are advised to:
- Obey all road closures
- Avoid non‑essential travel
- Drive according to weather conditions and reduce speed
- Ensure your vehicle is equipped with emergency supplies
- Keep headlights on and maintain safe following distances
- Check road conditions through Ontario 511 before travelling
Additional updates will be provided as the situation develops.
In an emergency, call 911. For non-emergency police matters, contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122.
