With the arrival of Labor Day, Ontarians everywhere will be having one last hurrah this weekend as the summer of 2011 draws to a close. With many parties taking place on the province's variety of lakes, Ontario Power Generation and the Ontario Provincial Police urge locals to celebrate responsibly and safely.
"Ontario's waterways are a great place to enjoy the holiday weekend if you are prepared," said Larry Beechey, who heads the OPP's traffic safety and operational support division. "Wear your personal floatation device, particularly in smaller boats, and don't mix your boating with alcohol."
To make sure Ontarians practice safe boating and driving habits, the OPP said it will maintain a high presence of heavily trafficked highways, lakes and rivers.
John Murphy, executive vice president of OPG, echoed Beechey's safety advisory, saying holiday revellers should be sure to stay clear of hydroelectric dams and stations while out on the water.
As the fall approaches, boaters may want to keep their watercrafts in a protected area so the cold temperatures don't damage their vessels. Jiffy Self Storage have units available that boats large and small can fit in.

As the current state of our world continues to evolve in response to the COVID – 19 Pandemic, Jiffy Self-Storage is taking every precaution necessary to do our part in the fight against it. As we are sure most of you are aware, the Government of Ontario is ordering the closure of all non-essential businesses effective Wednesday March 25th 2020. Although Jiffy Self-Storage is not on the list of businesses that can remain open, we will continue to operate, albeit, in a more limited capacity.
Despite the closing of our offices, to conform to City directives, we are very well set up to book a unit for you over the phone Without any in-person interaction. Self-Storage has few common areas and we sanitize surfaces regularly.
The safety of our tenants, staff and everyone who comes and does business here is our highest priority. Therefore, we ask that you please limit your visits, during this mandatory closure, as much as possible and that if you must come to the facility, you do so only if you have no symptoms. Please do not come if you feel sick in any way.
Our staff has been and will continue to Sanitize commonly contacted surfaces several times a day. Remember to perform Social Distancing should you meet someone in a hallway if you come to access your unit. This includes no hand shaking and keeping at least 2 meters from one another. Jiffy Self-Storage will maintain our cleaning staff’s hours and storage managers will maintain a presence on the premises to ensure the facility is safe and secure.
Access to the building and premises for current tenants will continue unimpeded, (7 days a week from 7am to 10pm) However, our Office will be closed to the Public for the duration of the Citywide mandatory closure.
