Helmets save lives

Helmets save lives.

On May 30, Connor was riding his bicycle near Orchard St. and Lakeshore Blvd. when he was struck by a pick-up truck. Connor, who was wearing a helmet, didn’t suffer any head injuries. He was rushed to hospital and, after a brief stay, was pronounced healthy — and lucky.

June 29, 2009 at the Dixie Rd./Dundas St. Canadian Tire, the Peel Paramedic Association and Canadian Tire gifted Connor with a new helmet and bicycle. They joined forces to recognize his bicycle safety smarts, hailing him a hero for donning a helmet.
