Ward Advocacy

Join your local Ward Group to meet other advocates in your neighbourhood and work together on local cycling issues. Ward advocates are involved in:

  • Reviewing city designs for bike lanes and submitting comments, both as an individual ward group and occasionally in joint submissions with other ward advocacy groups and organizations,
  • Following the progress of newly-installed infrastructure and providing feedback to the city through Cycle Toronto,
  • Conducting outreach to neighbours, businesses, and organizations to share information about cycling projects,
  • Supporting Cycle Toronto campaigns in neighbourhood contexts, and more!

Join your local Ward Advocacy group!

Action Alerts

Cycle Toronto sends out emails approximately 1 to 2 times a month when we need residents to show their support for cycling projects. This can involve contacting your councillor and/ or the mayor, typically by email. It's important to show City Hall that there is widespread support for cycling in the city, whether you're sharing your support of improving access to a bicycle for low-income residents or supporting a new bike lane, your voice helps.

Sign up to receive Action Alerts for updates when opportunities arise to make a difference in your community. Together, we can build a cycling-friendly city for all.
