December 3/13 13:09 pm - Donate to Cycle Toronto Education Program


Posted by Editoress on 12/3/13
 

Last year, a total of $11,500 from individual donors, partners, and grants enabled Cycle Toronto to teach almost 500 people about basic bike maintenance through free on-street tuneups, to install 700 free bike lights for cyclists who needed them, and to deliver 14 free safe cycling workshops in communities across Toronto. The organization also gave away 1000 copies of our Toronto Cyclist Handbook, teaching passers-by about traffic laws and safe riding techniques.

Cycling education is a major part of Cycle Toronto's work to make this a better, safer bike city. They need your help to get to $20,000 this year, to expand and strengthen the Street Smarts cycling education program. Help them raise $20,000 to fund Street Smarts 2014 & receive a charitable tax receipt.

With $20,000, Cycle Toronto will reach 2,000 people at 20 workshops and 24 on-street events over the course of six months and promote safe cycling across Toronto. They will work with Ward Advocacy Groups to make these events attractive, exciting and relevant to local needs. And continue to collaborate with their long-term partner CultureLink Settlement Services to further develop this program. CultureLink is a registered charity which reaches 17,000 new immigrants every year with engaging and innovative programs. CultureLink will recognize your Street Smarts donation with a charitable tax receipt.
