Pushers in Sherwood Park
 Need
a program your club can run and get very involved in the
community? Why not try Pedal Pushers - a bicycle safety training
program. The Canadian Progress Club in Sherwood Park is in its
21st year of running such a program. The program used is produced
by the Alberta Safety Council and incorporates bicycle safety training,
education on the rules of the road, and practical bicycle control
exercises. To run this program the club receives co-operation from
the elementary schools, the RCMP and the parents of the children.
The club acts as the facilitator and the actual training is done on a
volunteer basis by parents of the children registered in the
program. The program usually ends with the children participating
in a parade as shown in the picture. If you are interested and
want details contact this year's chairman Kurtis Blaikie by e-mail.
