Each year, Share the Road recognizes the impactful work of advocates and professionals across Ontario with our Wheels of Change Awards. These awards recognize leadership, innovation and relationship building in cycling. Awards are given in three categories: Professional, Organization and Community Champion.

Award recipients are nominated by their peers and selected by Share the Road's Board of Directors. The award winners are announced each year at the Ontario Bike Summit. In 2020, the awards were given virtually for the first time; you can check out the slide deck for the 2020 awards here.
