About the ProgramThis program is intended to put a helmet on the head of every child who needs one and provides education and awareness about bicycle helmet use. Local members of OTLA give generously to organize community partnerships and fund the cost of the bike helmets.
Initiated in the London area in 2002, this program started as a joint project between OTLA and the Brain Injury Association of London and Region and presented helmets to students of the Thames Valley District School Board.
Since its inception, the Helmets on Kids campaign has presented over 45,000 helmets to children in need.
Helmets Across the ProvinceOver the years, OTLA members have expanded the Helmets on Kids campaign to cities and regions across the province including Aurora, Barrie, Belleville, Burlington, Chatham, Haliburton, Kitchener, Lindsay, London, Milton, Mississauga, North Bay, Ottawa, Peel, Sarnia, Simcoe, Sudbury, Thunder Bay, Toronto, and Windsor. The program continues to expand each year.
