The Challenge!

The Commuter Challenge is gearing up again for this year.  It is a friendly competition between Canadian communities and workplaces, encouraging Canadians to use sustainable modes of transportation to get to and from work during Clean Air Day (June 7, 2006) and Canadian Environment Week (June 4-10, 2006).  Last year Prince George logged the most kilometers for its size class, but lost the competition to Lethbridge which had a higher percentage of participants.

The website is now available to sign up.  www.commuterchallenge.ca  Team coordinators from last year still have access to manage their groups.  Walk, bike, carpool, rollerblade, telecommunicate or bus to work and log your kilometers during Environment Week.  Encourage others to join you.  Prizes are available for participants!

June 7th and 8th is 25 Cent Bus Day.  Wear a "Go For Green" pin and pay only 25 cents to ride the bus.  Please contact me for a list of places that will be distributing pins.

For more information about the Commuter Challenge or 25 Cent Bus Day, please feel free to contact me.  I have numerous posters that can be displayed at your work place.  If you do not wish to receive any further updates, please send me an email.
