Richmond RCMP has partnered with the Canadian Tire Ironwood for free event aimed at reducing catalytic converter thefts in Richmond.
Event details
- Date: Saturday, Sept. 20, 2025
- Time: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
- Location: Canadian Tire Ironwood (11388 Steveston Hwy., Richmond).
On September 20, Richmond RCMP and community policing volunteers will be at Canadian Tire Ironwood in Richmond inviting drivers to have their vehicle’s catalytic converter etched free of charge, as part of their ongoing Richmond-wide initiative to help deter theft as well as aid in recovery and prosecution.
Unlike typical catalytic converter etchings offered as part of a regular service appointment, this event will allow the public to attend on a first-come, first-served basis, without the need to book an appointment.
Richmond RCMP and community policing volunteers will be in attendance, promoting theft-from-auto crime reduction strategies with a Spot the Target vehicle and a raffle to win a safety kit, sponsored by ICBC. In addition, community policing volunteers will be conducting a Lock Out Auto Crime audit in the neighbouring parking lots and promoting other crime prevention programs with free stickers and Safety Bear’s Safety Wheel for children in attendance.
