As Police Dog Porter was doing his river checks today he wanted to update everyone to BE CAREFUL! With the winter run off coming down through the Kootenays the current is strong and FAST moving. Please avoid the rivers and creeks if you can.

Meet Arlo, just starting his journey at the RCMP Police Dog Training Centre.

His days begin with breakfast and cuddles, followed by playtime that builds his instincts. Kennel staff teach Arlo and his siblings to retrieve, chase, and explore new environments. Later, they go on group walks to socialize and sniff out new scents. After a busy day, Arlo snuggles up with his mom for a well-earned snooze.

Good luck, Arlo, we can’t wait to see the hero you’ll become!

As the weather gets nicer, we are seeing more people out enjoying bikes, e‑bikes, and other small electric vehicles.

But remember not all vehicles are treated the same under the Motor Vehicle Act.

Before you ride, take a moment to know the rules: where you can ride, age limits, speed limits, and whether licensing or insurance is required.

Some vehicles that look similar are not legal on public roads, sidewalks, or bike lanes.

✅ Ride smart
✅ Ride safe
✅ Ride legal

And no matter what you ride, don't forget your helmet!
