In Pembroke, Ontario, certain parking spots now display a new insignia. The areas outside the Pembroke OPP station at 77
International Dr. that display the handshake symbol are designed to serve as community safety zones for online transactions.
bIf you purchase something online and need to meet someone in person to pay for it or pick it up, there are locations you may
use to guarantee everyone’s safety, according to the Upper Ottawa Valley OPP. According to an OPP news release, “Project Safe
Trade aims to establish a ‘community safety zone’ at an OPP detachment parking lot to facilitate online property transactions.”
“The idea behind establishing a ‘community safety zone’ is to shift online
transactions from private parkin lots, homes, and other locations to public spaces.”
