Northern Ontario Municipalities association applauds extended studded tire season

FONOM applauds the provincial government for their decision on expanding the studded tire season.  The Federation of Northern Ontario Municipalities says modifying the time frame to allow studded tires from September 1st to May 31st reflects a more accurate understanding of road conditions in the north.  Studded tire use had been permitted from October 1st to April 30th and as weather conditions in northern Ontario have demonstrated snow and ice covered surfaces can appear on northern highways before and after the prescribed dates.  Mayor of Kapuskasing and President of FONOM Al Spacek says it is being recognized that northerners often face extreme and unpredictable weather conditions and by implementing this change, driver safety will be enhanced.
