The United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry (SDG) is an upper-tier municipality located in the Canadian Province of Ontario. In 1791, the Constitutional Act divided English speaking Upper Canada from French speaking Lower Canada. In 1798, the present counties of Grenville, Leeds and Carleton were separated, followed in 1816 by Prescott and Russell. This left the Eastern District with Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry. In 1849 the Eastern District was officially replaced by the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, administered from Cornwall. Today, each municipality has a unique culture. The region celebrates a number of unique events throughout the year. In South Glengarry you can find Canada's oldest fair that takes place each summer in Williamstown, as well as the enchanting Ruins of St. Scottish heritage comes alive every year in North Glengarry at the annual Glengarry Highland Games. When travelling along the St. Lawrence Seaway, you can enjoy the salvaged history at South Dundas's Upper Canada Village and South Stormont's Lost Villages. In North Dundas (Ontario's Dairy Capital) you can celebrate delicious cheeses and ice creams. On your way there, be sure to travel through North Stormont's quaint villages and participate in Octoberfest.

HARVEST SEASON APPROACHES IN SDG COUNTIES

As we head into harvest season in SDG Counties, drivers will likely see an increased number of tractors and farm machinery travelling on rural roads.

According to the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, slow moving vehicles are 3.8 to 4.8 times more likely to be involved in a fatal collision per kilometre on the road than other motor vehicles.

This is why it’s crucial for drivers to stay alert and practice safe driving habits when travelling near farm machinery.

Tips for sharing the road with farm equipment (from the AORS - Association Of Ontario Road Supervisors)

🚜Watch for the red and orange triangle – This Slow-Moving Vehicle sign appears on the back of equipment that can’t legally travel faster than 40 km/h. Slow down and keep a safe distance when approaching farm machinery on the road.

🚜Pass only when safe to do so – Farm equipment is wide and may require more road space. Always ensure you have a clear line of sight before initiating a pass, and avoid passing on hills, curves or near intersections.

🚜Keep an eye out for debris or changing road conditions – Mud, gravel and other debris can fall from tractor tires, and dust from gravel roads can reduce visibility. Adjust your speed as necessary as conditions change.

🚜Be courteous – Remember that farmers work long hours to support their communities and put food on the table. Always slow down when following farm equipment - a few extra minutes of patience goes a long way.
Together, we can help keep Ontario’s rural roads safe this harvest season.
