Of course, alcohol continues to be a prime factor in motor vehicle deaths and accidents in general.

With the summer days upon us, nothing is more pleasant than a cool breeze to refresh us from Ottawa’s infamous humidity. However, when those cool breezes become stiff winds, damage and injury may result. On April 28, 2011, Ottawa experienced one such windy day.
