Winter Watch Report It was another busy Winter Watch (red light) season for your Mobile Watch and Canadian Lakes Safety. As usual, Mobile Watch volunteers in all nine areas reported numerous red lights to Canadian Lakes Safety. The Mobile Watch and Canadian Lakes Safety watch over all the homes in Canadian Lakes. Over the years, the actions taken by Mobile Watch and Safety have undoubtedly saved residents thousands of dollars in damaged property. The “Resident Vacation” form is available at the CLPOC office and online on our website: members.canadianlakes.org/vacation/. What Will It Take? We all have seen it - speeding. Speeding is a problem in Canadian Lakes. We can blame contractors for some of the violations, but we should face facts – we are all part of the problem. We hope that it will not take the death or serious injury of a playing child, a walker, jogger, or a bicyclist to get us to slow down. Canadian Lakes Safety has tried to raise our awareness by using the roadside speed monitor and by installing the dreaded portable speed bump devices. Usually, driving behavior changes – but only briefly. Then speeds go back up. Rest assured that Mobile Watch volunteers will do its part by reporting speed violators to Canadian Lakes Safety. Can we count on you to watch your speed while driving? Think of your children or grandchildren out playing in our beautiful community as you are driving, so please obey the 25 mph limit. The time saved between 25 mph and 45 mph when driving five miles is only seconds. Consider the time and anguish should something tragic occur because of your speeding. Slow down! We want to make sure that everyone has a fun and safe summer. If You See Something, Say Something Whether it is summer or winter, Mobile Watch and Canadian Lakes Safety are always watching out for the safety and security of our common and private properties. Since we are not a gated community, our assets are limited as to where we can be at any given time. That is where you come in. If you see something, say something. Report suspicious individuals and vehicles immediately. Call Canadian Lakes Safety at 231-972-8555, or if it is an emergency, call Central Dispatch at 911 or (231) 796-4811. Timely notification is crucial.
