Ontario Provincial Police will be out patrolling area highways this Easter long weekend.

Police will be making sure those heading to visit family or friends are buckled up.

So far this year alone, nine people have died in crashes in Ontario because they were not wearing a seatbelt.

If you are caught, you will get a 240 dollar fine, and two demerit points.
