October 20, 2022 - Our Greenway, in partnership with Coop Carbone, held its inaugural virtual meeting, Canadian Cargo Cycle Conference: Opening the Mobility Toolbox on September 20. The conference featured four sessions with 14 presenters structured around current programming, policy challenges, barriers to implementation, and the future state of micromobility in Canada for both commercial and family use.

Presenters included politicians such as Jessica McIlroy (Deputy Mayor and City Councillor of North Vancouver) and Kate Berniaz (Director Climate Action/Active Transportation at BC Ministry of Infrastructure and Transportation) along with representatives from private businesses such as Ben Morris (CEO and founder of Coaster Cycles) and Richard Armitage (Director at Manchester Bikes in the UK). 

The successful conference pointed to the need for good data, focussed regulations, better guidelines and information, standardized e-vehicles, better communication tools, incentives for both the business and private sectors, and better cycling infrastructure that is networked.

The project hopes to advance cycle logistics awareness in Canada, and North America as a whole, with an emphasis on how to scale micromobility.
