The Victoria Day long weekend marks the unofficial beginning of the warmer weather (fingers crossed).
As such, highways and recreation areas will be busy as people take advantage of this weekend to get a jump on some of the activities we all enjoy like boating, grilling, camping, and hiking. Each of these activities has its risks, but do what you can to avoid injury and please remember to drink responsibly and follow the rules of the road to ensure you arrive safely at your destination this long weekend.
Please note ACRC offices will be closed on Monday, May 23, 2016.
Have a safe and enjoyable Victoria Day holiday!
