Summer has arrived in Lake Cowichan, and with that everyone can expect an increase in traffic and vehicles on the roadways.

As the summer is just getting started, the Lake Cowichan RCMP are reminding everyone to slow down and to not drink and drive, says Constable David Prak, spokesperson for the Lake Cowichan RCMP. During this time of year, we see an increase in calls for service due to traffic related offences and impaired drivers, and this month has been no different.

Speed, Impairment and distracted driving are the three leading contributing factors for fatal crashes in the province, according to ICBC. If your summer plans include the consumption of alcohol, ensure to plan ahead and arrange a safe ride home. Remember that consuming or having open liquor in any park, vehicle, public space, river or lake, is not permitted.

Our police officers will continue to conduct proactive traffic enforcement all summer long for dangerous driving behaviour, as well as enforcing the Liquor Control and Licensing Act in public areas, where tickets and fines will be given out when appropriate, adds Constable Prak.

The Lake Cowichan RCMP encourage everyone who is coming out and visiting Lake Cowichan, whether you are camping, tubing, attending a festival, or just driving through, please do so safely and responsibly.
