September 4, 2026 - Join parliamentarians, local and national leaders, and fellow cyclists in a non-partisan celebration of everyday cycling in Canada. This year we will be highlighting cycling’s contribution to nation building for all people. So come out, bring your bike, bring your family and join us in sending the positive message that cycling can be for everyone!
5:00 PM – 5:45 PM Outdoor Event (Parliament Hill lawn)
We will begin the celebration on the lawn with some greetings, a showcase of different types of bicycles, a slow bike challenge, and a massive group photo. Please bring your bicycle to this part of the event. If you have a unique kind of bike to show off, even better!
6:00 PM – 8:30 PM Reception (Wellington Building)
After the group photo there will be a more formal indoor reception in the Wellington Building with cycling advocacy awards, and light hors d’oeuvres. Attendees MUST register in advance, via the registration page, and bring photo identification that matches their registration name in order to enter the Wellington building. Reception tickets will be offered on an invitation-only basis until September 18th. After this date, those who have already registered for the outdoor portion of the event will be offered the remaining reception tickets.
