They might have different laws in Ontario but in BC that's also the way to do it.
If they're on the bike they're considered a vehicle and have to cross the road in the same way a car would*.
If they're walking the bike they're treated as a pedestrian and must walk across the crosswalk
*( There are exceptions, such as multi use trails, but they are either clearly marked to both the road and trail users or they have a stop sign for cyclists)
