Our Mission

COMING SOON

We have developed a draft mission, vision, and set of values, and have made changes based on your excellent feedback. Please send comments and suggestions to hello@bikebrandon.ca. We expect to formally adopt these very soon as guiding principles for Bike Brandon.

DRAFT VISION

Brandon will be an equitable, sustainable, and vibrant city where our culture of cycling reflects active transportation as a commonplace mobility choice for year-round commuting, shopping, recreation, and fun.

DRAFT MISSION

We are a committed group of citizens encouraging everyone to enjoy cycling in Brandon. Through research, advocacy, and events, we work to build safe, convenient, and inclusive active transportation options for all.
