Highways open despite overnight snow

All highways in the region are now open after Highway 17 between Dryden and Shabaqua was closed for a couple of hours overnight.

There were a couple of collisions due to the snowy conditions.

Even though only a couple of centimeters of snow fell overnight, roads in the region are slippery as crews are only starting to salt and sand.

Motorists are urged to use caution and reduce their speeds, especially if you don’t have your winter tires on yet.

The snowfall warning remains in effect for the Kenora, Dryden and Sioux Lookout areas.
