E-SCOOTERS IN OUR MUNICIPALITY

The Electric Kick-Style Scooters commonly known as "E-Scooters", have been gaining in popularity as a means of transportation for some people, and merely as a recreational activity for others. When we are talking about E-Scooters, we are referring to the electric powered scooter that has a platform to stand on between two wheels and a steerable handlebar.

Under Ontario law, all E-Scooters are prohibited from use on a highway, sidewalk, trail, path, or walkway or in a public park or exhibition ground UNLESS the municipality they are in has enacted a by-law to allow and regulate their use.

The Municipality of Strathroy-Caradoc has NOT enacted a by-law to permit the use of E-Scooters in our municipality. This means you CANNOT ride or operate an E-Scooter in any of our communities on public property.

This makes operation of an E-Scooter prohibited and those found in violation can face fines or an appearance in court.

Anyone looking for more information can access Ontario Regulation 389/19 located at this link: https://www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/r19389

🕊️ International Day of Peace

Today, we recognize International Day of Peace ... a reminder that peace begins with each of us and grows through the way we treat one another.

Peace isn’t just about the absence of conflict. It’s about kindness, understanding, respect, and looking out for the people around us.

As a police service, we’re proud to play a role in keeping our community safe, but creating a peaceful community takes all of us. A friendly conversation, checking in on a neighbour, choosing patience, or lending a helping hand can make a difference.

Today, and every day, let’s choose kindness over conflict, understanding over judgment, and community over division.

From all of us at the Strathroy-Caradoc Police Service, wishing our community a peaceful International Day of Peace.
