Local Elections

Cycling British Columbia is the sports governing body for all the racing disciplines of cycling. Our association and our local affiliated groups in communities throughout BC host racing events that take place on public roads, in local/regional parks, and in municipally or district owned facilities (such as BMX tracks and Velodromes). Several municipalities have a great track record for supporting the sport of cycling and they provide levels of support similar to that offered to field sports, ice sports, and aquatic sports – other local authorities have not yet adjusted to the increase in interest in our sport.

The thousands of our members that participate in local racing events and the many thousands more that participate in single events in your community would benefit greatly from a more consistent level of support from all the local authorities. With this in mind, we would like to ask for your position on supporting the growth of cycling (as a sport) in your community. Specifically, our members would like to hear that if elected you intend to advocate the sport of cycling (road, mountain biking, BMX, & cyclo-cross) to receive comparable support to that offered to similar sized sports in your community. With your consent, Cycling BC will gladly share your position on this issue via the Cycling BC website, on all our social media and through our E-newsletter which reaches 13,748 current and past participants in local cycling races.

In closing, I would like to thank you on behalf of Cycling BC, our Board of Directors, and our members that live in your community.

Kindest regards,
