Bike to Work Week is an opportunity to celebrate cycling to work for fun, fitness, and the environment. The week of activities is sponsored by the City of Ottawa TravelWise Program and coordinated by EnviroCentre.

Starting with a launch at City Hall on Monday, June 7 at 10 a.m., there are events happening throughout the week.

On Tuesday, June 8, EnviroCentre will have a Celebration Station set up on the NCC pathway near Lebreton Flats. That morning, CfSC representatives will be on site to answer questions regarding the new Cycling Trends Analysis Project (CTAP).
