Announcements/Ceremonial Activities

National Capital Commuter Challenge

Councillor Al Loney’s comments:

On behalf of the Region of Ottawa-Carleton, I am happy and proud to issue a big "thank you" to the residents of Ottawa-Carleton for making this year’s National Capital Commuter Challenge such a huge success.

Le Défi du transport a révélé sans aucun doute cette année que les résidents sont définitivement engagés à adopter des moyens de transport plus écologiques.

For the past couple of years, we have challenged the City of Calgary to see who could register more participants – we challenge Calgary because they are closest in population size.

10,830 of our residents registered their participation in the Challenge, compared to just 4,500 for our competitors in Calgary. In the words of one Calgary coordinator, we annihilated them!

I am also pleased to announce today, that TravelWise is unveiling a new regional cycling map that is guaranteed to make life better for the tens of thousands of active cyclists in our region.

This is the third major TravelWise initiative for cyclists this year, fast on the heels of the Ultimate Ottawa Bike Guide and the expansion of OC Transpo’s Rack & Roll program.

This map is an essential tool for all cyclists in navigating throughout our region. Our Mobility Management Branch, with valuable assistance from many other partners, have put months of effort into ensuring we have this comprehensive map.

Copies of the map will be made available to all Councillors.

As of this morning, the brand new and greatly improved map will be available here at Regional headquarters and at retailers throughout Ottawa-Carleton for only $1.

Depuis ce matin, une toute nouvelle carte grandement améliorée est disponible ici au siège social de la Région et chez les détaillants d’Ottawa-Carleton pour 1 $ seulement.

Once again congratulations to the residents of Ottawa-Carleton!
