Oceanside Community Safety volunteers were participants in the City of Parksville Public Works Day that was held on March 18, 2022 in the kite field of the Parksville Community Park. School students were bused in to see the various services provided by the municipality such as fire, police and maintenance.

Every year an average of 52 pedestrians are killed and 2.400 are injured by collisions in B.C. These incidents typically take place at night or when visibility is poor. While there is no law requiring that pedestrians take steps to make themselves more visible to drivers in times of low visibility it simply makes sense to protect yourself when crossing or walking along the road.

During this time period the Oceanside RCMP received 283 complaints.
