Helmeted up, more than 20 children learned some bike safety tips and completed a course during the bike rodeo hosted by the and other community organizations in Rankin Inlet Friday, July 7.

SAӰӴýThe helmets are a huge thing,SAӰӴý said Cst. Matt Hope, who led the event. SAӰӴýObviously head, neck, face, spine injuries are prominent, especially if you donSAӰӴýt wear a helmet.SAӰӴý

ItSAӰӴýs a busy little town, he said, with cars and ATVs on the roads, so bike safety, keeping an eye on traffic and being aware of your surroundings is important.

Public health donated the helmets, said Hope. The fire department was also present at the rodeo.

SAӰӴýEvery kid gets a bike helmet and thereSAӰӴýs a little bag with some goodies, and we brought along a bunch of snacks and some reflectors, which are designed for bikes as well,SAӰӴý said Hope.

He was glad to see the youth display some good habits and pick up the safety tips quickly.

SAӰӴýThey all did great,SAӰӴý said Hope. SAӰӴýSome of them were prone to cutting corners a little bit there, but it was great that they listened. They pretty much took the course as we hoped they would.SAӰӴý

He added that it was also a good opportunity for the to engage with children.

SAӰӴýWeSAӰӴýre really busy here as police and to be able to come out and spend an hour or two with the kids on bikes to do something fun is really important,SAӰӴý he said.
