| Perth County Preventative Auto Theft Video & Media Contest |
|
Stolen vehicle occurrences in Perth County have risen significantly in the last five years. There are many costs related to stolen vehicle occurrences that affect people, communities, police and municipal governments. As occurrences have increased, so have these costs. The Municipality of North Perth, Municipality of West Perth, Township of Perth East, Perth County OPP, Perth Huron Insurance Brokers Association and South Easthope Mutual Insurance Company have partnered on the "What's the Cost?" initiative to address this increasing problem. The purpose of this project is to educate the public on the costs of preventable vehicle thefts and solutions to this increasing problem through the creation of short, compelling videos and other visual materials by local secondary school students. Contest submissions must be received by May 1, 2019 at 4:30 p.m. Visit North Perth’s website for more information regarding the Perth County Preventative Auto Theft Video & Media Contest. |
