Ottawa Public Health is partnering with 23 local retailers to offer great discounts on helmets across the city for June 1 and 2. For more information and the full list of participating retailers, visit http://www.adoptahelmet.com

Before buying a helmet, ensure that you are purchasing the proper style of helmet for the activity and use the 2V1 rule:

2: Ensure your helmet sits level and square on your head, and the front is two fingers distance from the helmet to eyebrows.

V: Adjust the straps to meet just below the ear in a V shape, and fasten comfortably

1: Allow only one figure to fit between the chin strap and the chin, so your helmet fits snug.
