Nanaimo RCMP adding brightness to your day
NANAIMO — RCMP hope to add some life-saving brightness to the dark winter skies.
On Tuesday, Nov. 7, Nanaimo police will hand out reflective strips downtown at the intersection of Commerical St. and Victoria Cres. from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in an effort to curb pedestrian accidents this year.
“All you need is one piece of reflective material, either on your back pack or arm and that could save your life,” RCMP Cst. Gary O’Brien told NanaimoNewsNOW.
O’Brien both the walker and the driver have a responsibility to not get into an accident, but unfortunately police find many pedestrians aren’t making it easy.
