Lidz on Kidz
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we were unable to have our Bike Rodeo event at the end of May. On June 27th, we distributed free helmets to children in the KW region; it was a wonderful day! There are now many more children out there riding their bikes safely! See below for photos from our event. Thanks to all the staff, volunteers and especially our our great sponsors McLeish Orlando, KW Kiwanis and City of Waterloo! Saturday July 11! Our next helmet giveaway event will be held in Guelph on July 11th. If you are in Guelph or Wellington County and need a helmet, please request a helmet through our page and we will contact you to arrange a pick up time. Thank you to our Exclusive Platinum Sponsor, McLeish Orlando, for sponsoring this event. |

About Us
The Brain Injury Association of Waterloo-Wellington (BIAWW) is a registered not-for-profit charity that provides support, advocacy, and programs to individuals with acquired brain injury (ABI) and educational programs to the children and youth in the communities of Waterloo Region and Wellington County.
- We provide resources on how to access community resources such as legal, rehabilitation, health care, work re-entry, school re-entry and community services. We make available information on concussion and acquired brain injury to survivors and their caregivers.
- We offer a community prevention program called "Lidz on Kidz" which allows us to visit area schools, minor sport leagues and community events to promote wearing appropriate equipment and how to play safely with the proper helmet.
- We provide a caregivers support group called "Care to Share" where caregivers can speak with their peers to gain support and develop friendships.
Mission
To give support, hope and answers to survivors of ABI.
Vision
To be recognized as pioneers in meeting the needs of survivors and their caregivers and setting the standard for innovative program delivery, education and prevention of ABI.
