Over the Thanksgiving long weekend, the Saint John Police Force along with other police services across the country, will be participating in Operation Impact 2026, a national public awareness and traffic enforcement campaign focused on reducing preventable collisions, injuries, and deaths on Canada’s roads.
Taking place from October 9 to 12, 2026, Operation Impact encourages all road users to make safe, responsible choices behind the wheel. This year’s campaign theme, “Safety is in YOUR hands,” highlights the important role every driver plays in helping keep Canada’s roads safe.
Throughout the campaign, police will focus on behaviours known to contribute to serious injuries and fatalities, including impaired driving, distracted driving, aggressive driving, fatigued driving, and failure to wear a seatbelt.
Operation Impact takes place during the Thanksgiving long weekend when increased traffic volumes mean more people are sharing Canada’s roads. Through education, enforcement, and public awareness, participating police services are working together to help ensure everyone reaches their destination safely.
This Thanksgiving, help everyone get home safely. Safety is in YOUR hands.
Together a safe, secure, healthy community
