January to March is a busy time for travel in the territory with increased traffic on our highways and winter roads. Residents and commercial drivers are reminded to drive safe, keep a close eye on weather and highway conditions and be prepared for unexpected challenges.

This year, January 21-27 is National Non-Smoking Week! This annual event aims to educate and inform youth and young adults against starting to use tobacco products and helps existing tobacco consumers to quit or limit their intake.  

Quitting tobacco, cannabis, and/or vaping is essential for better health. In one cigarette puff, a smoker inhales around 7,000 harmful chemicals. Whether you smoke cigarettes, chew tobacco, or vape, there are toxic chemicals in these products that pose significant health risks.
