Director of Public Affairs with Parkland Ambulance, Lyle Karasiuk, encouraged all drivers to be mindful of their driving habits as the holiday season wraps up.

“Regular activities go on each and every day,” Karasiuk. “When you’re on the highway, take your time if the road conditions are not favourable.”

Karasiuk also warned, even though temperatures have been mild so far this winter, to be prepared.

“Fortunately, we haven’t had any nasty cold weather, nor have we had any reports of people being stranded in vehicles,” he said. “Make sure you have some proper winter gear.”

“It wouldn’t take much even on a nice warm day like it has been this week… where it’s been a little warmer than average, it wouldn’t take much for you to suffer some hypothermia,” Karasiuk said.
