SHARING this Drug Alert from the Lifeguard app:
“A sample of grey "down" has tested positive for carfentanil, fluorofentanyl, & xylazine. Carfentanil is approximately 100 times stronger than fentanyl & greatly increases the risk of overdose, even in very small amounts. Xylazine is a strong veterinary sedative that can complicate overdose. Remember do not use alone, carry naloxone, use a small test dose, & get your drugs tested whenever possible.”

Shovel smarter, not harder! 🪏❄️

Heavy snow shoveling can put serious strain on your body, especially your heart. ❤️‍🩹

Why it matters?
- Shoveling is strenuous physical activity
- Cold weather raises blood pressure
- Increased blood pressure is a risk factor for heart attack and stroke

Winter safety tips to reduce injuries:
- If you have a snowblower, use it!
- Push snow whenever possible instead of lifting
- Avoid lifting heavy loads of snow at once
- Work in small sections...don’t rush to finish all at once
- Take frequent breaks and pace yourself
- Lift with your legs, not your back

Know your limits and stay safe this winter! 🚑

Winter Storm Warning ❄️🌨️

Total snowfall amounts are expected to range from 10 to 15 cm today into tomorrow, with reduced visibility from blowing snow.

City road crews are actively working to keep streets safe, and motorists are urged to use extra caution when traveling.

To help keep everyone safe, please remember these winter driving tips:
- Reduce your speed and drive with care
- Increase your following distance to allow more time to stop
- Avoid sudden maneuvers and remain patient
- Stay alert for pedestrians who may be harder to see in poor weather
- Allow extra time for travel - or stay home if you can

Please give snowplows and salting trucks plenty of space so crews can operate safely and keep roads clear. Passing too closely or driving aggressively around equipment puts both drivers and operators at risk.

If you encounter a road-related issue, contact City Dispatch at 807-625-2195 📱📞

For more information on snow clearing operations, visit thunderbay.ca/snow

Stay safe and take care!

Icy Roads: Take It Slow ⚠️❄️

Icy roads make driving more dangerous. Please slow down, leave extra space between vehicles, and stay alert.

Your patience helps keep you and our emergency responders safe.
