Lidz on Kids

Picture
Every year too many children die or suffer serious head injuries that could have been prevented if they were wearing a properly fitted and the correct helmet for the sports or activities they play.

Community Efforts

Lidz on Kidz is a community effort dedicated to providing bicycle helmets to children in need. Since 2020, and with the support of many community sponsors, BIAWW has provided over 2,600 FREE bike and winter sport helmets to families in the region who cannot otherwise afford them!   We are excited to make this program a yearly event each spring.  Follow us on social media for up to date event information.

​Visit the Lidz on Kidz Website for more information and to register for our next helmet giveaway. ​

​Make sure it fits! 

Here's a video from Parachute Canada and a quick reference guide on how to properly fit a helmet.

How to measure what size helmet your child needs: Use a soft measuring tape to measure the head circumference, about 1 cm above the eyebrows ensuring that the tape is at the same height all around the head. Or use a piece of string then measure the length of the string.

Education Programs

Lidz on kidz is also an education program promoting helmet safety and awareness in schools and community events throughout the Waterloo-Wellington region. The programs mission is to help ensure that children in the Waterloo-Wellington region can ride safely, ultimately decreasing injury and concussion rates.

Our speaking engagements cover the following topics:
  • The brain, its function and how it can get injured
  • Helmet fitting and the proper helmet
  • Signs and symptoms of concussion and returning back to play/work safely
  • Helmet fitting clinics at bike rodeos, community groups and community events​

Please email lidzonkidz@biaww.com to arrange a school, minor sports group, community event or community group or to learn more about the Lidz on Kidz program.

Please see our Education Programs page for our elementary brain education and concussion safety modules.

Why use Helmets?
Everyone needs to take steps to protect themselves from injury. Injuries are predictable and preventable. Wearing a helmet reduces the risk and severity of head injury. Prevention is the only cure.
