Bright clothing during the day … but what a difference the same clothing makes at night!

Don Clark demonstrates the impact that reflective clothing has. Reflect on your choices!

On Road / Off Road

Members of the On Road / Off Road sub-committee are asking you to Brighten Up! With the time change in November, it’s darker earlier in the evening and that makes it harder for people who are running, cycling, riding and walking to be seen.

*Don Clark, Cramahe Councillor and avid ATV rider, shows just how “Bright” you can be on an ATV!!*

The goal of this campaign is to encourage all on-and-off road users – pedestrians, cyclists, skateboarders, ATV riders, snowmobilers and agricultural vehicles – to make themselves bright and reflective so that they can be seen. Click here for more information …
