Strathcona County RCMP Asks Motorists to Prepare for Changing Road Conditions Ahead of Snowfall

Strathcona County, Alta. – With snowfall forecasted for the Strathcona County area in the coming days, the Strathcona County RCMP is reminding motorists to prepare for winter driving conditions and adjust their travel plans accordingly.

Snow-covered roads, reduced visibility and icy conditions can quickly create hazardous driving environments, particularly on highways and rural roads. Drivers are encouraged to monitor weather and road reports; ensure their vehicles are winter-ready and allow extra time to reach their destinations safely.

A change in weather conditions can affect driving performance, stopping distances and visibility. Taking precautions before heading out can help reduce the risk of collisions and keep Alberta's roads safer for everyone.

The Strathcona County RCMP recommends the following winter driving tips:

❄️Check weather forecasts and road conditions before travelling.

❄️Consider postponing non-essential travel if conditions are expected to deteriorate.

❄️Ensure your vehicle is equipped for winter, including appropriate tires, functioning lights and a full fuel tank.

❄️Remove all snow and ice from windows, mirrors, headlights and taillights before driving.

❄️Slow down and increase your following distance to allow for longer stopping times.

❄️Carry a winter emergency kit with blankets, extra clothing, water, snacks, a flashlight, booster cables and a cellphone charger.

❄️Make sure your cellphone is charged before leaving and let someone know your travel plans if travelling longer distances.

❄️If you become stranded, remain with your vehicle and call for assistance when it is safe to do so.

“With winter weather on the way, a little preparation can make a big difference. We encourage motorists to slow down, leave extra space between vehicles and ensure they’re ready for changing road conditions,” says Constable Cheri-Lee Smith, Strathcona County RCMP Public Information Officer. “Taking a few extra precautions can help everyone reach their destination safely.”

Strathcona County RCMP Share Crime Prevention Tips with Increase in Theft of Converter Thefts

Strathcona County, Alta. - Strathcona County RCMP remind vehicle owners of some Crime Prevention tips with increase in reports of theft of catalytic converters.

In August of 2026 there were no reports of stolen catalytic converters compared to September 2026 where there were 2 reports of stolen catalytic converters. So far, for the month of October 2026, there have been 8 reports that have occurred in larger parking lots and residential areas.

“Preventing catalytic convert theft starts with reducing opportunities for offenders. Secure your vehicle whenever possible and consider how you can limit access to its underside.” says Cst. Cheri-Lee Smith, Strathcona County Public Information Officer. “By being mindful of where we park and taking steps to make our vehicles less accessible, we can help reduce opportunities for theft in our community”.

Tips to prevent theft of catalytic converters from being stolen include:

💡Park in well-lit areas and close to building entrances, when possible.

💡Park your vehicle inside your garage and keep all garage doors shut and locked.

💡Business owners should secure their vehicles behind locked fences or inside a locked building.

💡Set your car’s alarm to go off when it detects vibration.

💡Engrave your vehicle identification number (VIN) on the catalytic converter.

This may alert a scrap metal dealer that it was stolen and makes it easier to identify the owner.

Report to local police, if you see anyone underneath a vehicle or around a resident/business at odd hours of day or night.

If you have any information on property crimes in your area, you are encouraged to contact Strathcona County RCMP at 780-467-7741 or your local police.
