The Saint John Police Force wants you to enjoy a safe and secure Canada Day. With festivities planned across the waterfront and throughout the city, officers encourage you to take simple precautions. These steps ensure a fun celebration for your family and neighbours.

Plan Your Ride Home

Arrange a safe ride home before heading out. If you consume alcohol or cannabis, do not drive. Impaired driving puts everyone at risk.

Navigate Crowds Safely

Keep a close eye on your children in busy areas. Set a specific meeting spot right when you arrive. This gives you a clear plan if you get separated from your group.

Protect Your Property and Respect Neighbours

Secure your belongings. Lock your vehicle doors and keep valuables out of plain sight. Also, remember to respect local noise bylaws during designated quiet hours.

Report Suspicious Activity

Look out for one another. Report any suspicious activity directly to the police. Call the non emergency line at 506 648 3333 for concerns, and always dial 911 in an emergency.
