HOW TO REGISTER FOR BTWW
If you are RE-REGISTERING an existing team, please:
Thank You + Prize Winners
On behalf of the Sea to Sky Clean Air Society, I would like to thank all of the individuals and teams that participated in Bike to Work Week 2013. There were 96 teams in total, which is a record number for the Sea to Sky Corridor! Close to 250 riders rode at least 3 out of the 7 days, which represents a significant reduction in vehicle emissions during the period- good news for our airshed. 2.76 tonnes of Greenhouse Gas Emissions were avoided, which is roughly equivalent to taking one passenger vehicle off the road fro 7 months!
Many people told me that that they will continue to ride their bike to work, which is the best possible outcome of this initiative.

The following people have been entered into the prize draw for Bike to Work Week prizes which consist of:

Clean Air Day 2013- Wednesday June 5
June 5th is Clean Air Day!
No Problem, I Ride to Work Now!
Did you know?
We use our air every two seconds to breathe, and although we can’t see it, it is as important as our drinking water. The main threat to clean air in our region is polluting emissions from cars and trucks, so riding your bike is one of the best things you can do to maintain good air quality!
Clean Air Day is a fun way to continue your commitment to protecting the environment and the air we breathe. Many communities in Canada have Clean Air Day activities. Visit this website to find out how you become part of the solution:www.cleanairday.com.
2013 Participation = Tracking Your Kilometres + Submitting Your Results. AND Having Fun!
