These change, so we link to the people who keep them up to date.

  • MooseYear round, worst between dusk and dawn

    The province states that the likelihood of injury in a moose collision is twice as high between dusk and dawn as in daytime. This is unlit two-lane road for nearly all of it, so take care on the drive back in the evening.
