Need a new helmet? For the 7th year, Ottawa Public Health has partnered with sports retailers across Ottawa to bring residents a discount on helmets. The Helmet Discount Weekend is Saturday, May 5th and Sunday, May 6th.

Helmets can help prevent serious brain and head injuries by absorbing the force from a fall or hit to the head and are recommended for activities such as:

  • skateboarding
  • rollerblading
  • biking
  • sledding
  • skating
  • skiing
  • and snowboarding

In Ontario, it is mandatory for anyone under the age of 18 to wear a helmet while riding a bicycle under the Highway Traffic Act.
