Cst. Cameron was the leader in a recent workshop sponsored by the West Hants Health Board.  This workshop was well attended and we hope for continued success as residents educate themselves.   We have made contact with the Dept. of Highways regarding some road concerns.  We are appreciative of the fact that they are listening and placing signs strategically.  A resident made a comment recently that there should be an added course to licensed drivers, namely  “how to avoid pot holes at high speed”.  You can’t, so don’t try. 

We would like to commend our community for their efforts in assisting our group and the R.C.M.P. as residents are obviously paying attention to their personal safety and the safety of their homes.  It makes it worthwhile for the volunteers that are spending their time passing on information as it is being received. As a reminder (and yes we can hear the groans), the Stop Signs are there for a reason.  Please use them.  We have been hearing too often of people passing stopped busses as well.  The unfortunate accident recently in West Hants is a reminder that things can happen.  Our precious children are on those busses,  and we need to make their safety first.  Pass it on.  Stay safe.

Tuesday, April 8 Mount Uniacke Citizens on Patrol hosted the Regional C.o.P. meeting with C.o.P. groups from Centre Burlington, Ardoise and Ellershouse.  Constable George Cameron introduced Constable Bushy and his K-9 partner.  Constable Bushy explained the intricate training and handling of RCMP dogs across Canada and the K-9 involvement in crime-solving since 1935.  What an amazing addition to the RCMP!!  Mount Uniacke C.o.P. will be running more drive arounds now that the nicer weather is here.  We ask parents to ensure bicycle helmets are worn and check to make sure children wear the helmets properly.
