Spring Safety Message

The Sault Ste Marie Police Service would like to remind parents and guardians about a spring safety message.
As the temperatures start to rise and rain is forecast please pay extra attention to children playing around or in ditches. Although the ditches along roadsides look harmless they can be very dangerous. The spring melt is starting and this means water building up in ditches. Please keep children away from any ditch.
