Be Bright at Night

As the rainy season returns, it's time to remember to Be Bright at Night.

As pedestrians, we can wear light-coloured or reflective clothing, and reflective vests are also effective. Cyclists can mount lights on the front and back of their bikes. On evening walks, equip your pets with lights and reflective accessories.

We hope these tips help make our community safer in the evenings!
