It's a reminder again today to drive carefully on snow packed area highways.  Police responded to a collision yesterday involving over 30 vehicles on Highway 11 near Barrie yesterday.  High winds and blowing snow are to blame for the crash, which forced the closure of the highway just after 1:00pm.  Police are asking all drivers to slow down in foul weather, and when roads conditions and poor.

Drivers travelling between the areas of North Bay, Huntsville, and Barry's Bay on Tuesday may encounter delays.  Soldiers from CFB Petawawa are conducting a road move as part of Exercise Rolling Dragoon.  The convoy will travel along Highway 17 to County Road 58 (Round Lake Road), then take Highway 60 west through Algonquin Park to Highway 11 north to North Bay, and then head east on Highway 17.  Traffic is advised to be extremely patient and cautious as the convoy will consist of 50 large military vehicles and will be making various stops along the way.
