Pedal Poll: The first Canada-wide bike count will take place June 1-6, 2021. They are seeking volunteers and will be hosting a training and orientation session online on May 25th.

Over time this will help inform better cycling infrastructure ensuring everyone has access to safe and effective cycling choices, no matter where or who they are. Learn more about this initiative here, and sign up as a volunteer here.

Congrès annuel du Regroupement des géographes du Québec (RGQ) : Le congrès annuel du RGQ, la division du Québec de l'ACG, se tiendra du 26 au 28 mai 2021. Le thème sera Urbanité et périurbanité : la contribution des géographes à la compréhension des enjeux territoriaux et à une réflexion collective et le congrès comprendra six discussions thématiques. Visitez le site web pour plus d'informations et restez à l’affut pour les détails.
Sondo Vélo : Le premier comptage de vélos à l'échelle du Canada aura lieu du 1er au 6 juin 2021. L'organisme est à la recherche de bénévoles et organisera une séance de formation et d'orientation en ligne le 25 mai. Il s'agit non seulement du premier comptage coordonné de vélos à l'échelle du Canada, mais aussi du premier à tenter de recueillir des données démographiques sur les cyclistes. On demandera aux bénévoles de noter le sexe, l'âge et l'origine ethnique perçue des cyclistes, ce qui nous aidera à comprendre qui pédale et où. Au fil du temps, ces données permettront d'améliorer l'infrastructure cyclable et de garantir que chacun ait accès à des choix cyclistes sûrs et efficaces, quels que soient son lieu et son origine. Pour en savoir plus sur cette initiative, cliquez ici, et inscrivez-vous en tant que bénévole ici.
Assemblée annuelle virtuelle de l'ACG 2021 : La 71e Assemblée annuelle de l'Association canadienne des géographes se déroulera virtuellement du 7 au 11 juin 2021.
