Summer Safety Smart Cards
Content
The Maple Ridge Fire Department in partneship with our local McDonald's Restaurants began the Summer Safety Smart Card program in 2001. 
The RCMP Community Policing Team is joining us again in distributing Summer Safety Smart Cards to deserving individuals.
People spend much more time outdoors during the summer months and unfortunately this is when many preventable injuries occur. The aim of this program is to reward people who are enjoying the outdoors in a safe manner and to promote injury prevention in the community.
Fire Officials and Community Policing Team members will reward people for such things as wearing a helmet when cycling, wearing protective gear on skateboards/rollerblades, using crosswalks properly, etc. Last year a gentleman was rewarded for pulling over and stopping his car to use his cell phone - he was pleasantly surprised to receive his reward!
Summer Safety Smart Cards can be redeemed at any Maple Ridge McDonald's location for a free ice cream cone until the end of September.
Summertime Safety is the Smart Choice.
