***SHARE THE ROAD - Jubilee Ave. has been re-designated as a three lane road with a centre two-way left turn lane. This is to prepare for dedicated bike lanes that will help make biking more safe and accessible through a busy residential and school zone. The centre two-way left turn lane will be used by both vehicle and cyclists to turn left safely.***

Check this out! Cochrane District EMS are bringing the "Brain Save Campaign" to Timmins! When they're not called to service, paramedics will be on the lookout for kids who are wearing a helmet that's fitted properly. If they spot you, you'll get a free coupon for an ice cream cone from McDonald's AND be entered in a draw for a chance to win a new bicycle from Canadian Tire! How cool is that?
Wearing a helmet while cycling can significantly reduce your risk of sustaining a severe brain injury.
So grab your helmet and check out the helmet fitting tips from the Porcupine Health Unit so that you're ready for your next ride!
