June 14th to June 20th is Bike Week in Winnipeg, formerly known as Bike to Work Day. The Bike Week Volunteer Organizing Committee have expanded the one day event to a week full of events and activities. There are many exciting downtown events being planned.

To reach out to an even broader audience and to recognize that many Winnipeggers live, work and play in suburbia, the Winnipeg Trails Association is hosting a ‘brainstorming meeting’ to discuss ways to promote and build awareness of Bike Week in suburban communities. I.e.: ‘Bike to School / Bike to Soccer Practice / Bike to the Bank / Bike to the Grocery Store’ etc. The more folks we can get on bikes in their communities – the better!

Meeting will be hosted by Janice Lukes.
