HRM Bike Week

Get Involved in Bike Week May 25 - June 3, 2012

HRM Bike Week is designed to celebrate, educate and increase participation in all types of cycling throughout the Region.

Have an idea for Bike Week? Organize your own event! We encourage events of all sizes! Fill out the registration form attached and send it to the address provided or go to www.halifax.ca/bikeweek/Registration.html.
• Are you a non-profit or individual interested in organizing an event?
• Do you want to volunteer during Bike Week?
• Does your school want to participate in Bike Week?
• Are you a business wanting to hold an event or workshop for your employees?
• Does your business want to participate in some other way?

Some event ideas:
• Lead a bike ride (historic ride, trail ride, city sightseeing tour, style ride, night ride, family ride, etc.)
• Organize a bike fashion show
• Run a photo contest or exhibit
• Coordinate a bike art show
• Host a bicycle movie night
• Invite a guest speaker to talk about engaging your community in safe, enjoyable cycling
• Host a bicycle maintenance clinic
• Offer a bicycle education workshop (e.g. CanBike)

All events must be registered with HRM and if you submit your registration form (below) before February 28th, you may be eligible to receive funding. We would be happy to receive event registration forms after this date but they will not be considered for funding and may not be mentioned in the Bike Week brochure. Please note that your organization may be required to hold public liability insurance depending on the nature of the event.

Please contact David MacIsaac at 490-1665 or macisad@halifax.ca with questions about registering your event or to help you get started with an idea.
