May 13-19 is Bicycle Safety Week in Yorkton and as such there will be a number of initiatives taking place in the city to drive the point home.
Member of the Yorkton Municipal Detachment of the RCMP will be holding bike rodeo event at each of the four elementary schools, as well as speaking with students about the importance of bike safety. As a part of the initiative SGI and the Saskatchewan Prevention Institute have also agreed to provide prizes for each of the events.
In conjunction, a booth will be set up for bicycle registration purposes. Currently in the City Of Yorkton the fee is $5 to register a bicycle, however, during the week of May 13-19 the city has agreed to waive the fee.
