Motorcycle awareness
campaign slated for May
Safety blitz to
take place in
Goderich and
surrounding
southwestern
Ontario
communities
The Lake Huron Steel
Horse Riders motorcycle rid-
ing club, in conjunction with
the organizations known as
A.B.A.T.E. (Association of
Bikers for Awareness, Train-
ing and Education) and the
CMC (Canadian Motorcycle
Cruisers), will be participat-
ing in a Motorcycle Aware-
ness Campaign on May 22
and May 23.
Last year, there were a
large number of fatalities
and injuries in the motorcy-
cle riding community.
Organizers hope, through
awareness and education, to
decrease or even eliminate
those terrible statistics.
The Motorcycle Aware-
ness Campaign will kick
off in Mitchell on St.
Andrew Street May 22
from 7 to 9 p.m., and con-
tinue on May 23 from 10
a.m. to 2 p.m. in several
other communities
throughout southwestern
Ontario, including:
• Kincardine - Sobeys at Hwy
21 and Durham Street.

This is made possible with
the permission of businesses
allowing the use of some of
their parking space and the
support of local police, fire
and EMS.
These professionals will
demonstrate their lifesav-
ing techniques for acci-
dent scenes with the hope
of never having to use
them. Members of the rid-
ing clubs will hand out
brochures of safety tips
such as "look twice, save a
life" for motorists, as well
as safe riding courses for
cyclists.
Organizers invite remem-
bers of the public to join
them and help to spread the
safety message.

venturing onto the water-
ways, it is recommended
that boaters take the follow-
ing steps:
1. Evaluate the condi-

water.
2. Ensure you have your
Pleasure Craft Operator
Card (PCOC) - all recrea-
tional boat operators must
have their PCOC.
3. Know the waters in
which you are operating.
Keep up-to-date charts
onboard your vessel and
consult them. For a list of
