Description


Join us again this year as we ride in memory of Joe Morrison - a husband, a father, a teacher, a friend, and a valued member of our community - who lost his life two years ago while commuting by bicycle.

Together, we will remember Joe and reimagine safe and inclusive active transportation. Like previous years, this will be a calm, peaceful, and respectful ride. The pace will be slow to ensure all ages and abilities can take part with an emphasis on safety.

Date: Thursday June 18, 2026

Time: Gather at 7:00 pm, ride starts at 7:30 pm

Place: Holy Family School, where Joe worked as a teacher

Route: Holy Family School to Canada Games Center via Wann Road, Alaska Highway, and Hamilton Blvd. multi-use trail

Safety remains the highest priority. With the amazing support of Highways & Public Works – Transportation Maintenance Branch, the Alaska Highway will be temporarily closed to motor vehicle traffic for the duration of the ride. A brief safety and logistics overview will be provided before departure. A pilot and a sweep vehicle will escort our group.

Help us spread the word - let’s gather as a community to support safe, inclusive transportation for everyone. Wear a helmet and dress for the weather.
