Cycling Task Force
The Cycling Task Force is made up of members of all local governments, working together to develop a comprehensive cycling strategy. Our goal is to improve cycling access in the Comox Valley, both recreationally and for commuting, and to improve safe travel for all members of the public and safe access to regional bikeways.
The Task Force will focus on education, recreation, and transportation. Making cycling safe, enjoyable and efficient in the Comox Valley will lead to more people getting on their bikes - improving their health and creating a clean environment and community!
