Recent research shows that bicy- cle accidents kill over 60 children 'each year in Canada, seriously in- -jure over 5,000 and are the most -common cause of child head inju- ries. Just falling from a bike onto the driveway can bump a young brain hard enough to cause catas- trophic disability. The Bicycle Helmet Promotion campaign will involve many of the other schools in the South -Huron area. Peer pressure plays a part in getting kids to wear their helmets so we want as many parents and students as possible to get the edu- cation they need to believe a helmet is important for their health and safety. The campaign will consist of as- semblies, poster exhibits, educa- tional activities, a parent informa- tion. night and coupons from local merchants offering reduced:prices on helmets. Two of the tiajor events planned will be a visit to several area schools on Tuesday May 4 and Wednesday, May 5 by former Ca- nadian National Cycling Team member Denise Kelly. Kelly has many cycling achievements to her credit including participation in three World Championships, the Pan-American Games, the Tour de France and the Commonwealth games to name a few. Her visit to Exeter Public School is Tuesday .afternoon. She -will be speaking to all studentsabout giber career and the importance of wear- ing helmets not just for pros but everyone. Dr. Michael Rieder, a specialist in Paediatric Emergency Medicine will be speaking about Bicycle Helmet Use. This is open to the public and is being held at Exeter Public School Tuesday, May 11 at 7:30 p.m. Dr. Rieder has done research in the area of accidental head injury and has practiced Emergency Med- icine at the Hospital for Sick Chil- dren in Toronto, the Children's Hospital of Western Ontario and Children's Hospital of Michigan. He is a consultant in Paediatric Emergency Medicine at the Uni- versity of Western Ontario. Everyone is welcome and en- couraged to come and hear It from an expert. Coupons will be distributed --at the meeting, entitling purebâ– sertrof bicycle helmets to $5 oft-Yce at Exeter's Canadian Ti ,Atfac- Leans Hardware, and at -IUD Sports.
