    Date:

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    (WASAGA BEACH, SPRINGWATER TOWNSHIP, CLEARVIEW TOWNSHIP, ON) – The Huronia West Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) wishes to express its sincere gratitude to the residents of Huronia West for their patience and understanding yesterday, January 29, as the detachment experienced an unusually high volume of calls for service.

    January 29, 2025, officers responded to a significant number of motor vehicle collisions across the region, including several road closures for an extensive period of time which disrupted many. These incidents, combined with other emergency calls, placed a considerable strain on police resources.

    The Ontario Provincial Police understand that waiting times for emergency services can be frustrating, and deeply appreciate the public’s patience and understanding during this challenging period. The safety of our community remains our top priority, and we are committed to responding to all calls for service as quickly and effectively as possible.

    The OPP reminds motorists to drive safely and defensively, and to exercise caution on the roads, especially during inclement weather.

    Drivers and members of the public are reminded to respect our communities, comply with all laws, and not jeopardize the safety of our citizens or our neighborhoods with risky, illegal, and dangerous actions.

    The OPP and Traffic Safety partners remain committed to saving lives on our roads. For safety and crime prevention tips, please visit our website at www.opp.ca.

    The Huronia West OPP is committed to serving our province, including the Town of Wasaga Beach and the Townships of Springwater and Clearview. If you have any information about crime in our community, please contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122. Should you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or submit your information online at www.crimestopperssdm.com. Crime Stoppers does not subscribe to call display, and you will remain anonymous. You will not testify in court and your information may lead to a cash reward of up to $2,000.

    The Ontario Provincial Police is committed to public safety, delivering proactive and innovative policing in partnership with our communities.

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!
