Woodstock Police Donate Unclaimed Bikes to HPSS

Sunday, 1 October 2017 08:23

Students at Huron Park Secondary School are using bikes donated by Woodstock Police in their Experiential Learning Outdoor Education Program.

WOODSTOCK - Woodstock Police have partnered with Huron Park Secondary School for a new program. 

Huron Park needed bicycles for their Experiential Learning Outdoor Education Program. Constable Nikki VanLeeuwen explains how Woodstock Police helped them out. 

"To use some of our bikes that have been turned in, so they either found or stolen in our community, instead of normally recycling them, the students at Huron Park actually took them, and took parts and rebuilt the bikes." 

Once the bikes are fixed up the students use them in their course that teaches them about geography, tech, english, business and physical education. VanLeeuwen explains how Huron Park got hooked up with Woodstock Police for this imitative. 

"So one of our dispatchers, who is a football coach at Huron Park, was talking with the teacher that runs the program, he mentioned that we could use some of the bikes that are not returned to owners from here and the ball kind of went rolling from there."
