As Canadians we like to travel to warmer climates during the winter months. Planning for a vacation can be exciting as well as overwhelming; the Sault Ste. Marie Police Service would like to provide you with a checklist to alleviate the confusion prior to leaving on your trip.

Have I made arrangements to have a trusted friend or family member to look after the house when I am away?

Will they clear the driveway and walkways of snow?
Will they put out the garbage?
Can they leave a vehicle in my driveway?
Have I left them my route of travel?
Have I left an emergency number where I can be reached?
Make sure I cancel my newspaper for the duration of the trip.
Are my lights, radio and television on programmable timers?
Have I set the outside lights on timers?
