BttF City Committee -- January meeting

Thursday January 26 from 7:00 to 9:00 PM

This will be the first of what we hope will be a monthly meeting of Bike to the Future's City Committee to be held on the 4th Thursday of the month, from 7:00 to 9:00 PM, focusing on city issues.

This first meeting will be at the Sport for Life Centre. Bikes can be parked inside the building in a locked room that is beside the main doors and in direct view of the security desk. When you sign-in at the front desk, you'll see the room number.

One of the decisions we will make is whether or not to rotate meeting locations through the various city communities (City Centre, Assiniboia, Riel, East Kildonan-Transcona, Lord Selkirk-West Kildonan).

Please RSVP if you plan to attend so that we know how many people to expect.

Can-Bike Instructor certification opportunity

Bike to the Future is looking for people who are interested in obtaining their Can-Bike 1 Instructor certification.

The Can-Bike program is a series of cycling courses on all aspects of cycling safety and skills, oriented toward recreational and transportation cycling.

The Can-Bike training is 16 to 18 hours, roughly split evenly between the classroom and the road.

Once completed, individuals will be certified as a Can-Bike 1 Instructor. More importantly, they would have the knowledge and skills to deliver a variety of workshops and courses using Can-Bike basics.

Bike the Future is currently looking for anyone interested in taking this training. The course dates have not yet been set, but they will likely begin in March or April, depending on weather. The goal at this point is to access interest so that Bike to the Future can plan accordingly.

For more information about the Can-Bike course, please contact Dave Elmore, Safety & Education Director, Bike to the Future.
