Motorists are advised that a new reduced speed school zone is being added and will be in effect soon, bringing the number of reduced school speed zones in the RM to four. Reduced speed zones for Dasmesh School and The King’s School will require motorists to slow to 30 km/h between 7am and 5pm, Monday to Friday from Sept. 1 to June 30. The locations are:
