Ontario Bike Summit
Postponement of the 2020 Ontario Bike Summit
Health & safety are our top concerns. With the rapidly evolving COVID-19 outbreak it has become clear that the responsible plan of action is to postpone the summit until later this year.
At this time, we are coordinating with the hotel to identify a way to host this event in the Fall of 2020. We are optimistic about this approach and grateful for the understanding and flexibility of our host hotel The Courtyard by Marriott Downtown Toronto.
We ask for your patience as we work toward finalizing a plan of action for a Fall summit. This year we were thrilled to have the highest number of Early Bird registrants we have ever had in our 12 year history and we hope that you will all stick with us as we work to host this event we all love at a later date.
All registered delegates have received an email with additional details. More information to come as our plan develops for Fall 2020.

Hotel Accommodation
We have an accommodation room block at the Courtyard by Marriott Downtown Toronto. The special group rate is $219 CAD single/double per night and it is available 3 days pre/post summit. Since our hotel agreement is being pushed into the fall, you will need to book a guest room reservation again for the new Summit dates once we have the revised web link. We hope to have this available soon. Attendee reservations must be received on or before the cut-off date (TBA), to take advantage of this group rate.
Important to note: Complimentary Wi-Fi is included in the guest room rate.
We urge you to use our summit hotel, as it helps us offset costs in order to keep our registration fees down. Please book early!
