Bill 92 2001

An Act to designate

Motorcycle Awareness Week

Preamble

The motorcycle is an important part of recreation and transportation in

Canada. It has contributed to government activities nationally, as well as

locally, both in war time and peace time.

Motorcycle ownership in Ontario has increased to record levels. There are

more than 95,000 officially licensed motorcycles for road use and an untold

number of motorcycles for off-road use.

In the interest of safety, it is necessary to develop skills and awareness

of proper habits to handle motorcycles on Ontario highways. It is also

important for the citizens of Ontario to be aware of motorcycles on highways

and the vulnerability of motorcyclists and to recognize the importance of

sharing the roadway.

Several communities in Ontario have proclaimed motorcycle safety and

awareness weeks. The Province of Ontario wishes to promote education and safe

riding habits for motorcycles. It is appropriate to proclaim a week for that

purpose in the month of May when there is an annual renewal of motorcycle

enthusiasm.

Therefore, Her Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the

Legislative Assembly of the Province of Ontario, enacts as follows:

Motorcycle Awareness Week

1. The week beginning on the first Monday in

May of each year is proclaimed as Motorcycle Awareness Week.

Commencement

2. This Act comes into force on the day it receives

Royal Assent.

Short title

3. The

short title of this Act is the Motorcycle

Awareness Week Act, 2001 .

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Bill designates the week beginning on the first Monday in May of each

year as Motorcycle Awareness Week.
