The Acquired Brain Injury Program at Sun Country Health Region will be offering the Medical Scooter Awareness Program this summer in a location near you.
Several communities have been selected so far, and others can be added.
The safety program to inform the public about the best operating procedures for the scooters can be held indoors or outdoors, in a health centre, parking lot, mall or a blocked-off street. The program takes 1-2 hours and is provided at no cost.
Information provided at the sessions includes safe operating, and the "rules of the road" according to Saskatchewan Government Insurance. For instance, scooter drivers are designated as pedestrians and must use sidewalks whenever possible.
If you or a loved one use a medical scooter or are thinking about purchasing a medical scooter, please consider attending one of the sessions held at: Redvers Health Centre on June 19 at 11 a.m.; Moose Mountain Lodge, Carlyle on June 26 at 10 a.m. and Lampman Curling Rink on June 26 at 1:30 p.m.
Dates for sessions in Weyburn and Estevan are still being determined.
