#545 - Today is International Overdose Awareness Day.

Do you know what to do if you suspect someone is experiencing an overdose?

Know the signs:
⚠️ Slow, weak or no breathing
⚠️ Cannot be woken or is unresponsive
⚠️ Pinpoint pupils
⚠️ Blue, grey or pale lips or skin
⚠️ Gurgling, choking or unusual snoring sounds

If you suspect an overdose:
☑️ Call 9-1-1
☑️ Administer Naloxone/Narcan, if available
☑️ Stay with the person until help arrives

Naloxone/Narcan can temporarily reverse an opioid overdose.
When in doubt, call 9-1-1.

🚨Don’t be afraid to call for help🚨
Canada’s 'Good Samaritan Drug Overdose Act' provides some legal protection for people who experience or witness an overdose and call 9-1-1 or their local emergency number for help.

#545 - It's back to school for French-language students in our community! 🎒📚

As students return to classrooms on Tuesday morning, the Cornwall Police Service will be out in the community helping keep school zones safe.

A reminder to drivers:

🚗 Slow down and watch for children
🚌 Stop when a school bus has its red lights flashing
👀 Stay alert near crosswalks, school entrances and bus stops
📵 Put the phone away and keep your attention on the road

A few extra seconds of patience can make all the difference. Let’s make sure every student gets to and from school safely.
