Due to widespread weather-related incidents, including flooding, forest fires, extreme heat, and hazardous driving conditions, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is urging the public to remain alert and informed by using the appropriate resources for timely updates. Please do not call 911 for road closures, weather updates, traffic conditions, or other non-emergency information.

The OPP thanks the public for staying alert and assisting in our shared efforts to build a safer Ontario. ^pia

Auxiliary officers and Civilian members from Frontenac OPP partnered up with the North and Central Frontenac Township food Bank yesterday in Sharbot Lake, to collect food and donations. The community was exceptionally generous in donating over $1700 dollars and 600lbs of food. Many thanks to all those who supported this event in making a contribution to help the communities we serve.^rm #FrontenacOPP #AuxOPP

There is more winter weather yet to come. We continue to recommend that you postpone any non-essential travel If you must be on the roads, adjust your driving to match the conditions. SLOW DOWN, leave extra following distance, give yourself extra time, keep your eyes on the road and don't make any sudden maneuvers that could cause you to lose control of your vehicle. Make sure to top up your fuel and your washer fluid. Consider packing an emergency kit (find details on what to include in another post). If you are behind a plow or salt truck - STAY THERE.
