School is back in session, and that means children are once again walking, biking, and crossing our streets every morning and afternoon. Please slow down in posted school zones, come to a full stop at crosswalks, and keep your phone out of reach while driving. A few extra seconds of patience can prevent a serious injury. If you or someone you love has been hurt by a careless driver, call 613-978-9549 or visit ottawainjury.ca.

Just in time for the Labour Day long weekend, MADD Canada has launched a new campaign called Thanks For Leaving Me, told from the point of view of a parked car reminding its owner it wants them to come home safely. The idea: if you've been drinking or using cannabis or other drugs, leaving your vehicle behind isn't giving up, it's the responsible choice. Find a safe way home and come back for your car once you're sober. It's a simple decision that can prevent devastating, entirely preventable injuries. Have a safe long weekend.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

With Labour Day around the corner, school buses and crossing guards will be back on Ottawa streets before we know it.
Give yourself extra time in school zones, watch for kids darting out between parked cars, and remember, it is the law to stop for a school bus with its red lights flashing, in both directions on most roads.
A moment of patience now can prevent a lifetime of consequences later.

Labour Day weekend is coming up fast, and it is one of the busiest travel weekends of the year on Ottawa area highways and waterways.

Today is National Senior Citizens Day. Slips, trips, and falls are one of the leading causes of injury for older adults, especially on uneven sidewalks, poorly lit stairwells, and cluttered walkways.
A few simple checks can make a real difference. Secure handrails, well lit entryways, and clear paths free of hoses, cords, or loose mats go a long way toward preventing a serious fall.
If a fall happens because a property owner did not keep a space reasonably safe, you may have the right to compensation.

Your insurance renewed this summer. Did your protection renew with it?

Most Ontario drivers don't know that as of July 1, 2026, the rules changed: income replacement, caregiver benefits, and death/funeral benefits are no longer automatic parts of your auto policy. They're now optional add-ons. Only medical, rehab, and attendant care coverage stay mandatory.

That means two people in the exact same crash could walk away with very different levels of support, depending on a box they may not remember checking.

If you've been in an accident recently, or you're just not sure what your policy actually covers, don't wait to find out the hard way. Give our office a call for a free, no-pressure review.
