A 7 day national campaign to make Canada's Roads the safest in the world.

Both the RNC and RCMP are joining forces for a 7-day national campaign to make our roads the safest in the world. This year’s theme is “Take the Wheel”, a popular expression that not only means to drive but also to “take control.” RNC Cst. James Cadigan says when more traffic is on the go, so are they. Meanwhile, a group of Corner Brook RNC officers took on a basketball team from Sacred Heart School to kick off National Police Week. I think I heard…the kids might have won.
