Results are in as OPP Wraps Up Project Slow Down

Speeding truckers have more than radar to worry about as Project Slow Down wraps up.

Along with radar, police employed the less known but more advanced Lidar to nab speeders.

Constable Andre Taschereau says the new technology provides better accuracy.

Project Slow Down focussed on highways in the Parry Sound and Sudbury districts, considered critical routes for transporting goods across Canada.

At total of 15 commercial truckers were charged with speeding.

I was born and raised in the former Borough of East York (now part of Toronto), a friendly community with small-town roots. After attending Ryerson’s Electrical Technology program in Toronto, I became involved in the family’s retail electronics business, eventually taking it over. During that time, I became involved in a number of community groups including the East York Community Centre Liaison Committee, and sitting on the board of the Toronto Police 54 Division liaison committee, as well as chairing the Pape Village Business Improvement Area. In 2007, I decided to pursue a career in radio broadcasting, enrolling in Humber College’s radio broadcasting program. It was a wonderful opportunity and something I’ve wanted to do since high school. After working at a number of stations in both Ontario and Alberta, I am excited to work alongside with the great team at 103.3 Moose FM in beautiful Parry Sound.
