Community Bike Ride for Mental Health

Join us this Sunday for the first annual community bike ride to support mental health! It's a fantastic way to spend a Sunday of a long weekend - enjoying a fun bike ride and supporting a great cause.

The scenic route starts at Central Park in Burnaby, makes its way past Queen E. Park and Trout Lake in Vancouver, before returning to Central Park. Snacks and refreshments will be provided for all riders, and participants will also receive a commemorative t-shirt. There will also be entertainment and prizes!


In Vancouver and Burnaby, over 161, 000 of our family members, friends, neighbours and coworkers are affected by mental illness, and good mental health is important for all of us. The Canadian Mental Health Association runs programs, events, support groups and educational opportunities aimed at helping those with mental illness in their recovery, and in promoting mental health for everyone. Take part in the Community Bike Ride because not only are exercise and volunteering good for your mental health, but your participation raises awareness and makes a real difference in your community.

We can't wait to see you there on Sunday! For more information visit: http://www.cmhacommunityride.ca/
