Get Involved: HUB Cycling Local Committees in Metro Vancouver

 

No experience required - just your enthusiasm! 

A group of ten cyclists pose on a residential street lined with blooming cherry blossom trees under a bright blue sky. Some are standing with their bikes, while others kneel or sit on their bicycles. The scene is sunny and cheerful, with houses and well-kept lawns visible on both sides of the street.

 

 

Support safer streets in your neighborhood.

HUB Cycling, Metro Vancouver's cycling advocacy organization has 10 volunteer-led Local Committees working to make cycling (and walking and rolling), better for everyone. If you're looking for the perfect volunteer cycling opportunity - this is it!

Committees meet monthly (virtually and in-person) and collaborate to improve safety, accessibility, and bike-friendly streets for people walking, cycling or using wheelchairs and strollers. Cycling advocacy in Metro Vancouver is powered by people, like you! We are always looking for people to join! We even have leadership positions available in most of our 10 committees. 

No experience necessary and everyone is welcome. 

If you are passionate about making your neighborhood safer, greener and healthier or even looking to gain experience in community organizing, municipal politics or urban development, check out our HUB Local Committees!

Joining a Committee is a great way to make a tangible impact — and gain valuable experience along the way!
