JOIN US at the 2023 Bike Summit!
UPDATE: The event is now at capacity and Registration is closed- see you there!
We’re excited to announce Cycling Nova Scotia, in partnership with the Ecology Action Centre, and supported by Halifax Regional Municipality and the Province of Nova Scotia, will be hosting our first Bike Summit since the pandemic!
This years summit will be held at Captain William Spry Community Centre (16 Sussex Street, Halifax) on Monday, October 23, from 9am-4:30pm.
So much has happened in active transportation around the province the past few years, and we’re excited to celebrate and share success stories, and hear about barriers and challenges along the way. We’ll have speakers, panels, and activities planned to connect, centered around small town opportunities and challenges in active transportation and trail building. We’ll also have an update on the AT Strategy from the Province of NS! It will be an opportunity to make connections with like-minded professionals in the active transportation advocacy, planning, and design space. Our goal is for you to take away connections, ideas, and opportunities for partnerships going forward. These conversations will not end once the Summit is over- it will be a venue to begin and continue on-going conversations and foster work that will roll into the years ahead!
This is a free event targeted at professionals and advocates of active transportation throughout the province. We have limited space, so only the first 80 registrants will be registered. Those who register beyond the first 80 spaces will receive an email notifying you that unfortunately you were not one of the first 80 and were not registered.
We are planning a trail cycle ride in the afternoon- so if you are interested in that please bring your bike! Those who do not wish to participate in the ride will have other programming options to choose from during that time.
We are also planning to have a “fair” set up during lunch and at the end of the day, and are inviting organizations to register for a table/booth (free of charge), to set up and share active transportation work, programming, pamphlets, etc. We will have a limited amount of tables, so please register your table HERE and we will reach out!
We can’t wait to see you there!
