The City Police and the O.P.P. provide an excellent information service for the press from Monday to Friday but, understandably, do not have information officers in on the weekends and do not issue press releases.

If something major is happening, however, such as closed highways, a large fire, missing person, something dangerous to the public, etc., etc., then that information is supplied and posted on this site immediately along with updates as the events unfold.

SooToday checks with both services first thing Saturday and Sunday mornings. Routine weekend occurrences are included in Monday's briefing by both services.
