Okay that makes sense. Thanks to all for clarifying that for me! I
grew up in Windsor and first became a ham/CANWARN spotter there. I
moved to Mississauga a few years ago and want to keep up with my
training. I'll have to remember to load up those repeaters in my
mobile and HT!
One question: are any Peel region repeaters part of this network or
is the VE3CTV coverage adequate?

Subject: Off topic: Heads up on an IMPORTANT amendment to HTA
Highway Traffic Act amendment will protect police officers, firefighters and
emergency personnel
TORONTO, April 3 /CNW/ - Bill 191, an amendment to the Highway Traffic
Act, was proclaimed today, Bob Runciman, Minister of Public Safety and
Security, announced.
The legislation - Bill 191, Highway Traffic Act Amendment Act (Emergency
Vehicle Safety), 2002 - will protect police officers, firefighters and other
emergency personnel whose vehicles are stopped on the shoulder of the
province's roadways with red lights flashing. Motorists will have to slow
down
and, where possible and safe to do so, move to a lane not adjacent to the
one
in which the emergency vehicle is situated.
"By forcing drivers to slow down and move over, we are protecting those
who protect us," Runciman said. "We all benefit when these dedicated workers
are able to do their job efficiently and without having to worry about their
personal safety. They understand what they do is dangerous, but there is no
need to subject them to additional risk."
"This government is delivering on its commitment to give police
officers,
firefighters and paramedics the tools they need to do their vital jobs,"
Transportation Minister Frank Klees said. "We continue to work to keep our
communities safe, with legislation that protects those who protect us."
"The personal safety of our officers is at risk when dealing with
roadside emergencies, issuing speeding tickets or providing assistance to
motorists," Ontario Provincial Police Commissioner Gwen Boniface said. "This
new legislation will be instrumental in protecting Ontario Provincial Police
officers and our roadside emergency partners as they endeavour to keep our
roadways safe for the motoring public."
The legislation will apply to all stopped vehicles, excluding school
buses, with flashing red lights. Section 62 (15.1) of the Highway Traffic
Act
authorizes ambulance, fire, police and public utility emergency vehicles and
ministries of transportation, natural resources and environment to use red
lights.
"Many motorists don't recognize the high risk front-line police officers
can face during routine traffic stops," Brian Adkin, president of the
Ontario
Provincial Police Association, said. "We don't necessarily think of pulling
off to the side of the highway to issue a speeding ticket or to investigate
an
accident as a dangerous part of an officer's job. This legislation is
critical
to our members' safety. It speaks to the commitment that the government has
for front-line emergency personnel."
Those convicted of disobeying the law can expect to be dealt with
severely. For the first offence, the fine will be not less than $400 and not
more than $2,000. For second and subsequent convictions, the fine is a
minimum
of $1,000 to a maximum of $4,000, six months in jail or both a fine and jail
sentence. All convictions will result in the addition of three demerit
points
to a driver's record. The court can also suspend a motorist's driver's
licence
for up to two years.
"We have lost four officers in Ontario in recent years when they or
their
vehicles have been stopped at the side of the road," Bruce Miller, the
administrator of the Police Association of Ontario (PAO), said. "This new
legislation will help to protect both front-line police officers and the
citizens they serve. We believe that it will go a long way to help prevent
further tragedies." The PAO represents 22,000 front-line police personnel.
"Firefighters are frequently the first to arrive at the scene of
incidents on highways," Milt Wilson, president of the Ontario Association of
Fire Chiefs, said. "This legislation will give our workers added protection,
especially before police arrive to direct traffic. I am pleased the
government
is taking this step to protect firefighters and everyone else that responds
to
incidents on the highways."
Saskatchewan is the only other Canadian province to have similar
legislation. A number of American states also have some type of emergency
safety vehicle legislation.

It's pretty sad when they have to make a law that basically forces you
to use common sense.
