The Prince Albert Police Service, Parkland Ambulance, Prince Albert Fire Department and Fresh Air Experience joined forces at the Bike Rally Rodeo to teach children about bike safety and preventing theft.
On Saturday afternoon, when children arrived at the Parkland Hall parking lot, they would first be directed to Fresh Air Experience where their bicycles would get a maintenance check. They would then get briefed by Parkland Ambulance on the importance of wearing a helmet and move on to the police who talked about ways to prevent bikes from being stolen, as well as safety. To finish it off, the fire department and police assisted the children in a basic maneuver course to practice turning and braking. Participants also received a lesson in the rules of the road including hand signs and etiquette.
It looks like a motorist had a lucky escape after hitting the surrounding wall around the top floor of a parking garage near the McIntosh Mall in Prince Albert.
As of mid-morning Thursday the cause of the incident was still not known. The vehicle had been removed.
