Position: Member at Large
Type: board member / volunteer
Organization: Halifax Cycling Coalition
Location: Halifax, Nova Scotia

The Halifax Cycling Coalition is an organization that is powered by people to make Halifax a better city to ride a bike for people of all ages and abilities. We are looking for enthusiastic individuals to join our Board of Directors for the 2018-19 year who believe in the power of the bicycle to make our community healthier, environmentally sustainable, and socially inclusive.

Ten years ago, our organization was formed by a group of concerned citizens in response to the death of a person cycling in downtown Halifax. Since then, we’ve grown to be one of the most effective advocacy organizations in Halifax and we take pride in the on-the-ground work we do to push for protected bicycle lanes and legislation to protect people cycling. In the past two years alone, our efforts have resulted in successes like
• A network of protected bicycle lanes planned for downtown Halifax and Dartmouth to be implemented by year 2022
• An all ages and abilities bicycle approach to the MacDonald Bridge
• A fully-protected bicycle lane on South Park Street
• 70+ women trained to bicycle confidently on Halifax’s streets through our Intro To Urban Cycling Workshop
• 14 Regional Councillors who signed our Bicycle-Friendly Councillor Pledge
• 1000 bicycle lights distributed to people cycling around Halifax and Dartmouth through our ILightHFX initiative
• On-street bicycle counters across the city collecting daily cycling data through the summer cycling season

What We’re Looking For:

Members At Large
We are now recruiting for a number of member-at-large positions! To continue the growth of our organization, we’re looking for people who have experience or expertise in areas such as:
• Fundraising to help our organization work towards more financial sustainability and enable us to continue our excellent advocacy
• Research to maintain our commitment to pushing for evidence-based solutions
• Communications to help us promote our events and programs that get more people cycling
• Law to provide strategic direction on provincial policy and legislation
• Energy, creativity, and any other skills you think you could bring to our Board table!
