The Safer Highway Six committee is looking for a further 400 or so signatures on their petition to the government for safety improvements to Highway Six between Thompson and Winnipeg.  The petition shows serious accidents that have resulted in collisions, human suffering and deaths and is asking the government to make improvements over the next few years including wider shoulders, passing lanes, rest stops, rumble strips, improved snow plowing and de-icing and faster accident response times.

They say they need much more representation from Northerners on the petition especially those influential individuals whose support in noted to be lacking adding these are the supportive signatures that will determine if this petition is given serious consideration by the government.

You can find the petition at #SaferHighway6 or on Facebook /SaferHighway6.
