Lacombe County hosts farm vehicle safety check

May 12, 2017 | 7:08 AM

Lacombe County will be hosting a two-day voluntary farm vehicle safety check at the new public works shops located on the east and west sides of the County.

The purpose of this check is to increase both the safety and the awareness of the agricultural industry as it relates to vehicle safety.

Date: May 30 (West Remote County Shop) located on Rainy Creek Road near RR3-0.

May 31 (East Remote County Shop) located on Hwy 12 and Hwy 821, Tees.

Times: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The deadline to book a spot is May 29.

Drop ins are welcome, but priority will be given to those who booked an inspection spot.

Commercial Vehicle Inspectors will be on hand to conduct safety inspections under the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance.

If safety violations are found, they will be noted on a personalized vehicle inspection report and instructions given to the driver on how to proceed with repairs.

Lacombe County wants to make sure our farmers and ranchers are not going to be stuck on the side of the road because of a breakdown – or worse yet, involved in a collision because of equipment failure.

Please show up any time between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.

Refreshments and lunch will be provided. 

For more information or to book a time, please contact Ray Kawai, 403-782-8959 or email rkawai@lacombecounty.com
