Reminder: Report Butt Throwers

Please remember that the Province is asking you to report to 911 vehicles whose occupants throw out a cigarette butt from a vehicle. Try to catch the license plate, or at least a car make, colour and the time, location and direction of travel.

And we ask you to find that butt if you can to grind it out aggressively until it can no longer be a threat to our tinder dry island.
