New measures announced

On Saturday April 17, 2021 the Government of Ontario announced several new measures aimed at curbing the rapid increase in Covid-19 cases. Included in the new measures were new authorities for police under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act which gives police the authority to stop any vehicle or pedestrian to find out why you are out.

The Port Hope Police Service will NOT be performing random vehicle stops of vehicles and pedestrians . We will continue to work closely with our local health unit, and our Municipality partners to ensure the safety of our community. 

It is still very important to do your part to help flatten the curve and follow the new restrictions put in place.
