Winter Bike to Work and School Day

Friday February 10 is Winter Bike to Work and School Day! Click here to commit to bike to work or school.

Drop by our booth on the Civic Plaza in front of the Civic Centre, to have your photo taken to show your support for International Bike to Work Day! You can also enter a draw for either a one year CRANKED membership or a copy of Frost Bike.

Our photo booth will be in operation from 8:00 am to 9:00 am, 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm, and 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm. We will be giving away muffins generously supplied by Origins at Spring Creek, as well as reflective arm and leg bands and reflective stickers to make you more visible at night.

In addition, at noon our volunteer mechanics will give your bike a little loving attention. Join the excitement as we strive to be recognized as one of the top winter cycling communities in the world!

If you bike to work or school on Feb 10th, be sure to stop by Good Earth Cafe for a complimentary hot chocolate or cookie.

School Travel Planning Comes to Canmore

Canmore is in the midst of its first School Travel Planning project, a pilot project at Lawrence Grassi Middle School (LGMS) in partnership with the Canmore Community Cruisers, the Town of Canmore, and the Alberta Traffic Safety Fund.
