Oceanside Community Safety

Please join Oceanside Community Safety volunteers on Tuesday evenings between 6:00 and 9:00 pm at the Summer by the Sea Market in Parksville to support Adam Fras. Adam is Parksville's representative on the Tour de Rock ride this year.

Using proper caution at railway crossings is something that all drivers must remember because the train will not stop for you. It is easy to forget to look if you use a crossing regularly but don’t often encounter a train. About 20 crossing collisions occur each year in British Columbia according to the Transportation Safety Board of Canada.

2022 Summer Counter Attack Impaired Driving Campaign has begun! Forty per cent of impaired driving related deaths occur during summer months in B.C. That’s why ICBC and police across the province are encouraging drivers to be responsible and plan ahead for a safe ride home.

During this time period the Oceanside RCMP received 292 complaints.

I have grave concerns about the safety of those driving battery operated wheelchairs and about the dangers involved for car drivers in dealing with their activities on the road. For instance, are those wheelchairs allowed legally on the roadways? I'm all in favour of personal navigation being available for those unable to drive anymore....but isn't that the reason the cities make our sidewalk curbs manageable for wheelchairs?

During this time period the Oceanside RCMP received 274 complaints.
