Tis the season to select a designated driver! This December Mothers Against Drunk Driving Red Ribbon Campaign advocates for safe, sober driving. NPD recommends that if you are drinking, plan a safe ride home. Take a cab, transit or designating a sober driver to arrive alive.

Always wear a bike helmet that meets safety standards. The BC MVA states that anyone who operates or rides as a passenger on a cycle must wear a helmet. It is an offence for parent/guardian to allow a person under 16 to operate a bike without a helmet.
