Bicycle Trade Association of Canada Announces Inaugural Grants
The Bicycle Trade Association of Canada (BTAC) has announced the six recipients of $25,000 in grants. Awarded twice a year and available to cycling-focused community groups, BTAC’s Grant Program supports projects that put more people on bikes.
This spring the funding goes to organizations working in education, advocacy and facility enhancement. An important selection criterion is whether the project will make measurable improvements to the overall cycling landscape in Canada.
Vancouver’s PEDAL After School Bikes program receives $5000
Edmonton’s Bike Rodeo Resource Kit Program receives $2,500
Velo Quebec’s Towards Pedestrian Friendly Communities receives $5,000
Toronto Coalition for Active Transportation’s Cycling Policy Conference, scheduled for spring 2008, will receive $5,000
Toronto Cyclist Union (TCU) will receive $2,500

BTAC is a not-for-profit trade association whose members come from the retail and supplier sectors of Canada’s bicycle industry.
