Rabies Information

Rabies is a virus that is usually spread by the bite or scratch of an animal. By the time the symptoms appear, it is generally too late to save the patient. Fast facts on rabies: - Rabies is a viral disease that is nearly always transmitted by an infected animal bite. - Anyone who receives a bite in a geographical area where rabies occurs should seek treatment at once. - For treatment to be successful, it must be given before symptoms appear. - Symptoms include neurological problems and a fear of light and water. - Following the vaccination requirements for pets helps prevent and control rabies. If you suspect an animal may be carrying rabies, contact the Provincial Rabies Response Program at 1-844-772-2437 or check out website Saskatchewan.ca/rabies

Vaccinate dogs and cats to protect them from rabies.

Annual General Meeting

The Saltcoats Library Annual

General Meeting will be held

on Thursday, April 26 at

6:30pm in the library. This

meeting is open to the

public. All are welcome to

attend.

Texting and Driving

Cell phones are the biggest dis-

tractions drivers face. It’s a good

idea to turn your cell phone off

and put it away. The safest

choice – safely pull over and park

before using your phone.

It’s illegal to use, hold, view or

manipulate a hand-held cell

phone while driving. If you’re an

experienced driver, meaning

you’re not in the Graduated

Driver Licensing (GDL) program

or Motorcycle GDL program, you

can use a hands-free device if it

can be activated with voice com-

mands or 1-touch, and is

mounted on the dashboard, visor

in a cradle. New drivers can’t

use hands-free devices at all.

**Drivers who are texting are 23 times more likely to be in a collision than those who don’t. **Talking on a cell phone makes the driver 3 to 6 times more likely to be in a collision. The penalty for holding, using, viewing or manipulating a cell phone while driving is $280 (which includes a victims' sur-charge of $60) and 4 demerit points under the Safe Driver Rec-ognition and Driver Improvement programs. Second and subsequent offences of holding, using, viewing or manipulating a cell phone while driving, in a 1-year period, will result in a 7-day vehicle impound-

ment.

Hall walking has finished for this season, it will resume again in the win-

ter. Thank you to Darlene Smith for opening and closing the hall for the

walkers!

Residents are reminded that when they are cleaning their driveway, or

walk way of snow, to ensure that they are not moving snow onto their neighbours

property or onto public property/right of

ways.
