Traffic collisions are reported in the Traffic Accident Information System (TAIS) only when the estimated repair costs for all vehicles and property exceed $5,000 or personal injuries are sustained, whereas a collision claim may occur for any amount of property damage over the applicable deductible. Private property and parking lot collisions, as well as deliberate acts of vandalism or natural causes, are also not recorded in TAIS. Effective Jan. 1, 2010, the damage threshold for recording property damage only collisions from SGI's claims system into TAIS was increased from $1,000 to $5,000. This change resulted in a significant decrease of property damage only collisions entered into TAIS. For consistency, this threshold change was also applied to previous years of data shown in this publication to allow for comparison. Auto Fund Division 2260 11th Avenue www.sgi.sk.ca Regina, SK, Canada S4P 0J9 Letter of Transmittal November 2017 To: Saskatchewan’s Traffic Safety Community I am pleased to submit to you the 2016 Saskatchewan Traffic Accident Facts. This report has been compiled using data captured by law enforcement officers throughout Saskatchewan and SGI’s claims adjusters. The primary source of the data presented in this report is SGI’s Traffic Accident Information System (TAIS), which houses the Province’s collision database. This report provides a snapshot of the state of road safety in Saskatchewan with facts on collisions, injuries and fatalities in 2016. This includes historical trends, time of collision occurrence, major and environmental factors that contributed to the collisions, vehicle and driver demographics among other information. We acknowledge the dedication and commitment of law enforcement agencies, SGI’s TAIS and claims teams for their contributions. Special thanks to Brett Wasnik and Krisztina Gurzo of the Traffic Safety Program Evaluation team for running the programs, and Howard Wang for producing the maps. Maggie Zhang of Corporate Business Intelligence and the Communications team at SGI deserve commendation for checking, correcting and validating the information presented in this report. It is our firm belief that the facts provided in this report will help traffic safety stakeholders in Saskatchewan to develop appropriate strategies to reduce the number of collisions, injuries and fatalities across the province. Please contact SGI if you require additional information. Respectfully submitted, George Eguakun, Director, Traffic Safety Program Evaluation SGI i Preface The Traffic Accident Information System (TAIS) compiles information on traffic collisions occurring on Saskatchewan roads. Collisions involving bodily injury or death, a hit and run, an out-of-province vehicle, an unregistered vehicle, an impaired operator and collisions where vehicles have to be towed are reported through police agencies. A Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) form is completed in accordance with Section 253 of The Traffic Safety Act and forwarded to Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI). Information on all other types of collisions is collected through SGI’s claims reporting process. Both data sources are combined to create TAIS. The collision database and its publications are administered by SGI. TAIS provides comprehensive collision data to many agencies for the design and evaluation of traffic safety programs. The importance of accurate and timely collision data is evident by such initiatives as Transport Canada’s Road Safety Vision 2010. This was a national initiative to make Canada’s roads the safest in the world. The strategic objectives of the plan were to raise public awareness of road safety issues; improve communication, co-operation and collaboration among road safety agencies; enhance enforcement measures and improve national road safety data quality and collection. The compilation of traffic collision information is made possible by the efforts and dedication of law enforcement and SGI staff who investigate, report and record the information on TAIS. ii Distracted Driving Casualty Collisions on Provincial Highways (2014-2016) µ Fatality Statistics: ") !( 2014 – 21 Fatalities, 190 Injuries in 139 Collisions #* 2015 – 30 Fatalities, 240 Injuries in 183 Collisions ") 2016 – 28 Fatalities, 299 Injuries in 225 Collisions Provincial Highways !( Regina Area #* !( !( ") !( ") ") ") ") #* ") #* #* ") !( #*") !( #* ")")") ") !( ") ") #* ")#* !( #* !(") ")#* #*") !( !( #*#* #*#*#*")!( ") ") !( ") !(") ") ") #*!( ") #* !( ")#* !( ") ") ")") #* ")!( !( ") !( #* #* !( ") ") #* ")!( ") ") !( #* !( !( #*!( !( !( ") #* !(") #* ") !( #* !( ") Saskatoon") Area #*!( #* ") #* ")") #*!( !( !( ") #* ") #* ") #* !( ") #*") ") !( #*") !( ") ") ")!(") !( #* !( ")") !( #*#* !( #* ") #* ") #* ") ")") ")#*!( ") ") ")#*")!( #* !( !( ") !( !(#* #* #* !( #*")!( #*!( #*!(#* !( !( #* #* #* #*")#*") !(")!( !( !( !( #*#* !( #* ") !(#* !( ") ") !( #* ") ") !( !( !( #* !( !( ")!( !( ") !( !(#* !(!( ") #*!( #* #* #* #* #* ") !( !( !( #* #* #* !( #* ") #*!( !(!(") !( ") #* !(")!( !( ") !( ") ") #* #* #* #* !( #* ") ") !( #* #* ") #*!( !( #* !( !( !(!(") !( ") ") ")") #*#*") ")#* #*#*") ") !( #* !( #* #*") ") ")#*")!(")#*")!(")")!( !( ") #* !( #*")#*")!(")") ") ") ")!(#*!(")#*!(")") ")#* #*") #*!( #*!(!( !( ") #* !(#* !( ") ") !(") ")!( ") ") #* !( #* !( !( #* ")") #* #* #* ")") !( !( !( !( ") Created By: GeoTAIS, !( #* #*") !( Traffic Safety Program Evaluation") !( ") !( ") ") Data: January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2016 !(")#*!( ") ") 0 80 160 320 480 640 Km iii 2016 Summary The number of fatal collisions increased 2.8% over the past year, from 106 in 2015 to 109 in 2016. The number of personal injury collisions in creased 2.4% over the past year, from 4,203 in 2015 to 4,305 in 2016. The highest number of fatal collisions occurred in May and July, closely followed by September, while the highest number of injury collisions occurred in November. Friday was the most collision-prone day of the week. The most collision-prone period of time was the afternoon rush hour from 4 to 6 p.m. Collision rates were highest among drivers between the ages of 16 to 19. Alcohol impairment, driver inattention/distraction, and speed were the most frequently identified human condition/action factors contributing to fatal collisions in Saskatchewan in 2016. Thirty-three per cent of fatal collisions and 63% of personal injury collisions occurred at intersections. Fifty per cent of pedestrians killed in traffic collisions in 2016 had consumed alcohol prior to the collisions. Forty per cent of fatal collisions and 7% of injury collisions involved a drinking driver. iv Page Section 1 Historical Trends 1 Figure 1.1 Trends in Licensed Drivers, Vehicle Registrations and Collisions 3 1.2 Trends in Casualty Collision Rates by Vehicles, Drivers and Population 3 1.3 Trends in Collision Rates for Provincial Highways and Rural Roads 4 1.4 Trends in Total Victims by Road System 4 1.5 Trends in Property Damage Only Collisions 5 1.6 Trends in Personal Injury Collisions 5 1.7 Trends in Fatal Collisions 6 1.8 Trends in All Reported Collisions 6 Table 1.1 Property Damage Only Collisions by Month and Year 7 1.2 Total Injuries by Month and Year 7 1.3 Total Deaths by Month and Year 8 1.4 Total Collisions by Month and Year 8 Section 2 Time of Occurrence 9 Figure 2.1 Persons Injured by Month of Occurrence 11 2.2 Persons Killed by Month of Occurrence 11 2.3 Total Collisions by Month of Occurrence 11 2.4 Provincial Highway Collisions and Travel by Time of Day 12 2.5 Provincial Highway Collisions and Travel by Day of Week 12 Table 2.1 Collisions and Victims by Month of Occurrence 11 2.2 Collisions During Holiday Periods 11 2.3 Collisions on All Roads by Time of Day and Day of Week 12 Section 3 Major Contributing Factors 13 Figure 3.1 Major Contributing Factors by Collision Severity 16 3.2 Major Contributing Factors in Collisions by Road System 19 Table 3.1 Alcohol, Speed and Distraction in Fatal Collisions 14 3.2 All Major Contributing Factors in Fatal Collisions 15 3.3 Count of Human Condition Factors by Severity of Collision 16 3.4 Count of

  • Healthy Beaches Report
    Saskatchewan Recreational Water Sampling Results to July 8, 2019 Water is Caution. Water Water is not Data not yet suitable for quality issues suitable for available/Sampling swimming observed swimming complete for season Legend: Recreational water is considered to be microbiologically safe for swimming when single sample result contains less than 400 E.coli organisms in 100 milliliters (mLs) of water, when the average (geometric mean) of five samples is under 200 E.coli/100 mLs, and/or when significant risk of illness is absent. Caution. A potential blue-green algal bloom was observed in the immediate area. Swimming is not recommended; contact with beach and access to facilities is not restricted. Resampling of the recreational water is required. Swimming Advisory issued. A single sample result containing ≥400 E.coli/100 mLs, an average (geometric mean) of five samples is >200 E.coli/100 mLs, an exceedance of the guideline value for cyanobacteria or their toxins >20 µg/L and/or a cyanobacteria bloom has been reported. Note: Sampling is typically conducted from June – August. Not all public swimming areas in Saskatchewan are monitored every year. Historical data and an annual environmental health assessment may indicate that only occasional sampling is necessary. If the quality of the area is deteriorating, then monitoring of the area will occur. This approach allows health officials to concentrate their resources on beaches of questionable quality. Every recreational area is sampled at least once every five years. Factors affecting the microbiological quality of a water body at any given time include type and periodicity of contamination events, time of day, recent weather conditions, number of users of the water body and, physical characteristics of the area.

  • CCHA Storm Report
    August 21st, 2020 Tennis ball size hail reported in western Canada Storms produced tennis ball size hail in some parts of western Canada along with heavy rain and high wind that damaged crops across the prairie, according to the Canadian Crop Hail Association. The storms occurred Aug. 7-15. CCHA member companies are investigating more than 800 claims of crop damage during the time period. Beth Shewkenek, of AG Direct Hail Insurance said storms damaged crops in the Saskatchewan communities of Choiceland and Redvers. In Alberta, she said storms damaged crops in Camrose, Drumheller, and Olds. Darryl Tiefenbach, of Additional Municipal Hail said storms damaged crops in the Saskatchewan communities of Bengough, Ogema, Pangman, Rouleau, Oungre, Regina, Pense, Craik, Earl Grey, Southey, Kelvington, Lintlaw, Okla, Kisbey, Arcola, Redvers and Alida. “The system moved up in a northeasterly path and produced hail in those areas with small stones to as large as tennis balls near Lintlaw,” he said. He said wind and rain are factors in adjusting for crop damage. Harvest is underway in the south of the province for peas, lentils and barley. Brendan Blight, of Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation, said storms damaged crops in the Manitoba communities of Virden, Alexander, Lowe Farm and Morris. “The storm came from Saskatchewan and headed east and met another storm coming north from South Dakota,” he said. Pea size hail resulted in minor to moderate damage. More than 2 inches of rain in some areas along with high wind are factors in adjusting for crop damage. Claims are still coming in, he said.
