Lacombe County hosts two days of Farm Vehicle Safety Inspections this April
Lacombe County will be hosting voluntary farm vehicle safety checks for two days this April.
From 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m., a safety check will be taking place at Rainy Creek Satellite Shop, located on Rainy Creek Road near RR 3-0, on April 5 and at the Tees Satellite Shop, located on Hwy 12 and Hwy 821, on April 6. Refreshments and lunch will also be provided.
County officials say the checks aim to increase the safety and awareness of the agricultural industry and promote ‘Vision Zero,’ a part of Lacombe County’s Traffic Safety Plan.
They say ‘Vision Zero’ is the idea that any loss of life on Alberta’s roads is unacceptable. As a result, they state that Farm Vehicle Safety checks go a long way in ensuring the community is safe and provide a positive experience with local producers.
