The Ontario Provincial Police are reminding drivers to drive safely this Thanksgiving weekend.

So far this year, 296 people have been killed in collisions on OPP-patrolled roads. 

Deaths linked to distracted drivers are up 40% compared to this time last year.

Cyclists and pedestrians have been particularly at risk this year, with fatalities up 100% since last year. 

OPP is joining police services across Canada this weekend for Operation Impact. 

Officers will collectively target drivers who speed, are impaired or fatigued, as well as drivers/passengers who are not buckled up.

The OPP wants to ensure no more families are left with an empty seat at the dinner table - not just during the Thanksgiving weekend, but throughout the entire year.
