The Canmore Community Cruisers are tackling climate change on a local level through their Bike All Winter Program. First, participants receive training on winter bike riding, then they get assistance and supplies to winterize their bike (e.g. studded tires, fenders, lights), and finally, they're paired with a Bike All Winter Mentor! Participants agree to ride their bike twice a week or more from November to March; post about winter riding at least once per week on social media; complete participant pre-and post-surveys; and participate in photo and video events. In 2021 the Bike All Winter program had 85 participants and was able to avoid an estimated 6.5 tonnes of Green House Gas Emissions!
The Bike All Winter Program was recognized for its environmental achievements at the 31st Annual Emerald Award in the Air Category.
