Wheels of Change Awards

Wheels of Change Awards

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. 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. 

2022 Award Nominations are now open and four categories of awards are available: Community Champion, Professional, Organization and Advancing Equity, Diversity & Inclusion. Recipients will be recognized at the 13th annual Ontario Bike Summit in Toronto, Ontario, April 5-6, 2022.
