The Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) will be hosting a bicycle registration event for members of the community on July 6, 2022. 

Anyone who has returned to where they parked their bicycle, only to discover a cut lock, understands the frustration and impact of having their bicycle stolen. More often than Police would like to see, when a bicycle is recovered, we are often unable to identify its owner. 

That is where 529 Garage comes in. 529 Garage is a digital registration app that seeks to identify, recover and return stolen bicycles to their rightful owners. The HRPS launched a partnership with 529 Garage in 2021. 

On Wednesday, July 6, from 9:00-11:00am, members of the community are invited to attend the registration event located near the west end of Spencer Smith Park, in Burlington. During the event, the HRPS will be promoting the tool and helping cyclists register their bicycles. 

Media are also invited to the event and will have an opportunity to hear from members of the HRPS about how to best protect bicycles from theft, including the importance of protecting your bike through the digital registration. 

Please note that members of the media are asked to RSVP by email at the earliest opportunity.
