The Forks Market

The SMSCM “We Caught You Using Your Head” helmet safety program is in full swing again this summer, and we are looking for you. Individuals who are “caught using their heads” and wearing their helmets will receive prize packages donated by local businesses in reward for their safe riding practices during wheeled activities. i.e. cycling, skateboarding and rollerblading. Look for us in the parks this summer.

The Sport Medicine and Science Council of Manitoba (SMSCM) is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving the needs of all athletes, both elite and recreational, throughout Manitoba. 

Find us beside the Forks Market on Friday August 7^th! Bring your bikes, bring your helmets, and win some prizes!
