The BCCC supports the goal of a universal framework for cycling training in the Province of British Columbia.
We’re part of a coalition of partners seeking a single accreditation standard for instructors and cycling education opportunities for every youth in BC in order to ensure consistency and quality in the delivery of cycling education to children and youth across the province.
We’re asking the BC government to fund the implementation of the Bike Right cycling education framework - visit the website to learn more.
