We have a week of free events during Active Commute Week.

Young cyclists can kick off the week with the Kids’ Bike Rodeo. We’ll be at Shipyards Park on May 29 from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. Riders ages 4 to 14 can test their skills on an obstacle course, decorate their bike and get it checked over for safety and proper functioning. Grab a spot here.

Grab a treat and high-five at our support stations on June 3 and 6. Look for us along the Millennium Trail at Rotary Park, at the top of the Two Mile Hill Trail, and along the Airport Trail from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m.

We’re hosting a Walking 101 workshop on June 5 from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Canada Games Centre and a Biking 101 workshop on June 7 from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Takhini Broomball Arena. Sign up at activecommutewhitehorse.ca.

Catch the award-winning documentary about how cargo bike can save the world! Motherload is screening at the Association Franco-Yukonnaise at 6 p.m. on June 6.
