OPP is reminding drivers in cottage country to stay safe and buckle up.

Over the Easter long weekend, the OPP is saying it will be launching a seatbelt blitz in order to crack down on drivers who seem to not bother buckling up. OPP detachment officer, Samantha Bigley says they work hard all year-long to ensure people are driving safely, but from March 30th – April 2nd, seat belt compliance will be the top priority.
