The Saint John Police are reminding those planning on attending Canada Day festivities to enjoy celebrating this great country safely.
Canada Day is a time to come together with family, friends, and neighbours to honour our country’s heritage and the vibrant community we share. With several events planned throughout the city, the Saint John Police are encouraging everyone to take simple precautions to ensure a fun and safe celebration for all.
Please consider the following safety tips in preparation for the festivities:
- Plan ahead to arrange a safe ride home if you plan to consume alcohol or cannabis. Never drive impaired.
- Be mindful in crowds. Keep an eye on children in busy areas and set a meeting spot in case you get separated.
- Respect noise bylaws for designated hours.
- Secure your belongings, lock your vehicle, and avoid leaving valuables in plain sight.
- Celebrate responsibly. Look out for one another and do not hesitate to report any suspicious activity to police.
