In Saskatchewan in 2016, there were 8,573 collisions involving drivers between the ages of 16-19, and teen drivers were found to be at fault in 79 per cent of those collisions.

Teen drivers have higher fatality, injury and collision rates than drivers in other age ranges. Although teen drivers represent just under seven per cent of drivers on the road, they are involved in*:
· 13 per cent of collisions,
· 18 per cent of major injury collisions, and
· 15 per cent of fatal collisions in
Saskatchewan.
*Numbers include collisions where a teen driver
was involved in the collision, whether or not they were at
fault.
SGI is
committed to educating teen drivers and helping them stay safe on Saskatchewan
roads. The Saskatchewan Graduated Drivers Licensing Program helps to ensure new
drivers of any age learn and demonstrate safe driving behaviours before getting
their Class 5 Driver’s Licence. Teens are eligible for the free program starting
at age 15.
National Teen Driver Safety Week is organized by Parachute Canada, a non-profit organization dedicated to injury prevention. For more information about National Teen Driver Safety Week, and to see SGI’s full social media contest rules, visit www.sgi.sk.ca/teendrivers.

- Town of Preeceville Official Community Plan
The Town is initiating a planning review project to adopt a New Official Community Plan and a New Zoning Bylaw to better guide development within our community. The Town’s Zoning Bylaw is outdated and does not reflect the changing needs of the Town and provides almost no direction on growth. In order to update the Zoning Bylaw, the Provincial Government requires the Town to adopt an Official Community Plan. The benefit of having an overall plan with “Action” items will assist Council in planning cost effective infrastructure and balancing residential, commercial, recreational and industrial development. Town Council has engaged Tim Cheesman, M.C.I.P. and his Planning Team to prepare the Plan and Bylaw.The Planning Team has completed the Town’s Draft Official Community Plan.
