Bike Parking Program
Green Action Centre Active and Safe Routes to School Program has partnered with the City of Winnipeg to increase opportunities for schools to access bike infrastructure so students (and staff) can bike to school. We are offering free bike racks and bike cages to more than 20 schools in Winnipeg!
Bike racks are made locally by Rack Works and are valued at $750. Bike cages may be considered where necessary, and would be custom built for your school.
Applications for Spring 2019 are closed.

What is Active and Safe Routes to School all about?
Active and Safe Routes to School is a program to provide resources and supports to schools and families that want to get active! Walking or biking on the trip to and from school is an important (and fun!) step towards children and youth getting the recommended amount of daily exercise and time outdoors.
