workshops
for the workplace
Across
Canada, CAN-BIKE instructors present workshops and seminars to share
their knowledge and help employers and other organizations increase
the safety and enjoyment of their staff and volunteers. While not
a substitute for a complete CAN-BIKE course, these workshops provide
valuable advice to beginner and experienced cyclists alike. Some
workshops offer a complete CAN-BIKE module, which can be credited
toward completion of an upcoming CAN-BIKE course.
Here
are just a few of the workshops available. Contact your cycling
association or an instructor near you to see if workshops are provided
in your area.
