NPD welcomed its newest Member on October 3, 2022 - Cst Christine Debienne joins us from Edmonton Police Services.

Always wear a bike helmet that meets safety standards. The BC MVA states that anyone who operates or rides as a passenger on a cycle must wear a helmet. It is an offence for parent/guardian to allow a person under 16 to operate a bike without a helmet.

Cyclists should remember that they have the same rights & duties as a driver of a vehicle while on the road. This includes: -Obey all traffic signs & signals -Keep at least one hand on handlebars -Don't use the bike to carry more persons than the number for which is equipped.
