Road-Trip Essentials: As road trip season approaches, Peter Kreis, VP Automotive & Operations a CAA Saskatchewan offers a quick reminder of things to keep in mind before heading out into the great wide open. “Check your tire pressure and oil – all the basic maintenance checks on your car. Whether it be winter or summer, all the same essentials apply,” he says. Once your vehicle is in tip-top shape, get ready to roll with these six tips.
Off the Beaten Path: Terry Kaszas, General Manager of Travel Services, says the sky or the world is the limit when it comes to how adventurous you want to be. When the travel bug bites but you’re not sure where you want to go, turning to a CAA Travel Consultant is the surest way to get inspired, especially when you’re looking for something unique and well, a little bit different. Visit caask.ca/travel to get started.
Get Personal with WestWorld Tours: WestWorld Tours (WWT) goal is to deliver a highly personal travel experience that comes complete with priceless memories.

Sow the Seeds for Fire Safety: This summer, take a minute to consider fire safety when planning the season’s plantings and yard projects. While prettying up your yard, consider how to minimize the dangers that can result from wildfires or an incident involving fire at a neighbouring property.

Thanks a Bundle: These days everyone is looking for more ways to save money. CAA Members can start by bundling their home and auto insurance. The savings are immediate – up to five percent on auto and 10 percent on home policies. Lori Madsen, General Manager, Insurance Services, explains by bundling your insurance products with one company, you’ll be dealing with a single point of contact – and that’s going to be an employee of one of Canada’s most trusted brands. Visit caask.ca/insurance to learn more about the benefits of bundling your insurance.
Vehicle Data, Privacy and You: Recent polling by CAA found that three out of four Canadians say they were unaware that when they purchased their vehicles, they granted automakers the ownership of data collected. Ian Jack, VP of Public Affairs at CAA National, talks about this important issue. Visit caask.ca/about-caa/advocacy-safety/consumer education to learn more.
Slow Down Move Over – Every Time: When you are driving, safety should always be top of mind – yours and the folks outside of your vehicle. That includes tow truck operators, construction crews, and first responders – such as paramedics, law enforcement officers, firefighters, and highway patrol staff – who are extremely vulnerable working on our highways. Slow down move over – every time!
Graduating to Greater Things: Celebrate the student in your household with a CAA membership – it’s a gift that gives two ways. They enjoy the perks and security of all the member benefits, and you enjoy peace of mind knowing your grad is in safe hands. Learn more, visit caask.ca/membership.
