Set 4 Safety

Each year, grade three and four students in Peel Region receive free bike helmets through this safety initiative, coordinated by the Peel Children’s Safety Village and the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association (OTLA) Helmets on Kids program. Each year, except for 2020 and 2021, participating schools in the Helmets On Kids initiative also receive a 25-minute educational safety assembly at their school, presented by Peel Regional Police and Peel Children’s Safety Village staff. School staff select students who need helmets to receive them free of charge.

Unfortunately, in response to the pandemic, Gluckstein Lawyers could not lead the Set 4 Safety fundraiser in 2020 and 2021. Still, we will continue our mission to keep the streets safer for young cyclists by funding the cost of the helmets this year. In addition, due to the consequent school closures, the in-person educational safety assembly could not take place. But we persevered, and Gluckstein Lawyers has worked closely with the Peel Regional Police Safety Village to put together a short educational video about bike and helmet safety to be distributed to each child receiving a bike helmet from the Peel HOK Program.
