Protect yourself from car theft this winter


Did you know that for almost 90% of auto theft claims in Manitoba, the vehicles are stolen with the owner’s keys?

In half of those cases, a set of keys was left inside the vehicle.


When out and about and warming up your vehicle this winter, keep these tips in mind to protect your vehicle from theft:



  • Keep your keys safe! Treat your car keys the same way you treat your cell phone or wallet.


  • Never leave your vehicle unlocked, unattended and running (even if it’s just for 5 minutes!)


  • Don’t leave keys in your vehicle.


  • Always remember to lock your vehicle.


  • Park your vehicle in a well-lit area.


  • Avoid hanging your keys by the door – put them in an out-of-sight place.



  • Remember, even if your key FOB is not in your vehicle, it can still be driven away.

Lunch & Learn

Did you know?


Headingley Seniors’ Services hosts a monthly “Lunch & Learn” or special event.


These afternoons are an opportunity to have some fun or learn something new.


Keep your eyes on our monthly calendar for what’s to come!


On January 24th Headingley Seniors’ Services hosted a Lunch & Learn featuring questions with our very own Mayor Jim Robson! The afternoon was a great success!

 

Some of the topics discussed included, water & waste updates, housing development, the new baseball diamonds, road maintenance, highway safety, aging in place and the Southern Health-Sante Sud district.


We wanted to extend our sincere gratitude and thanks to our mayor for lending his time and knowledge to ensure our community members felt heard.
