Oceanside Community Safety

Is your child seated safely in the proper child restraint? A free car seat check will be held on September 21, 2021 from 9:00 am to noon at the Society of Organized Services (SOS) at 245 Hirst Avenue West in Parksville. Information and other resources will also be available.

The Town of Qualicum Beach recognized volunteers from all sectors on August 25, 2022 at a reception at the Qualicum Beach Civic Centre.

During this time period the Oceanside RCMP received 276 complaints.

Are some of us such poor drivers that we can't even stay between the lines on the highway? I was driving home and met a pickup truck completely onto my side of the double solid line in a set of winding curves. Was the driver not paying attention or was he so intent on not slowing down that he straightened out the corners to avoid braking? I suspect that it was the latter.

During this time period the Oceanside RCMP received 260 complaints.

Are you going green? Is an e-bike something that you are considering the purchase of to help you get around? Buying an electric bicycle or adding an electric motor to a conventional bicycle to help out with the chore of pedalling uphill or giving a boost to your efforts on level ground sure sounds good!

Thanks to the generosity of Oceanside residents, Oceanside Community Safety collected over $1,500 in donations at the weekly Summer by the Sea Market, Parksville in July and August for the Tour de Rock, Cops for Cancer and Canadian Cancer Society. Volunteers were there on Tuesdays to raise awareness of children battling cancer.
