It's back to school time! Kids are excited to return to school and be with their friends, meet their teachers and be back in class. It’s been a while for drivers too!

Please pay extra attention to the busses, the flashing lights, kids and that school bus stop sign.

Last night’s Candlelight Ceremony at the Midland Cenotaph, is a tradition and opportunity to remember the sacrifices our armed forces veterans made for our freedoms. We were joined by our local air and sea cadets. Let we forget.

Starting this September, just in time for our kids returning to school, Midland launches the new automated speed enforcement cameras in community safety zones / school zones. We’re kicking this safety initiative off on William Street & Yonge Street with more to follow. Slow down, save lives & money.
