The
Cycling Promotion Fund is calling for nominations to the Australian Bicycling Achievement Awards. This will be the 8th
year these highly recognised National Awards will be conducted.
The Cycling Promotion Fund is delighted to announce the National
Heart Foundation of Australia as principal partner for the Australian
Bicycling Achievement Awards.
The support from the Heart Foundation, which is such a respected
national cardiovascular health and research organisation, is an
enormous boost in the current challenging economic environment for the
Awards and comes at a time of increasing concern about rising obesity
and falling levels of physical activity among our school children and
Australian families.
The Awards ceremony will held in Canberra during 2010 and is usually
attended by Award winners, Members of Parliament and stakeholders from
around the country.
Making
Australia more bicycle friendly requires action, commitment,
innovation, vision and persistence. Without the work of dedicated
individuals and organisations, many of the facilities and initiatives
we take for granted today would not be there.
Maybe
you know of a hard-working person in your area, a cycling group,
local school, bicycle shop, bicycle-friendly business, local council
or shire, councillor, politician or an organisation that deserves
recognition from the cycling community?
The
Cycling Promotion Fund believes that recognising innovation and
commitment is vital in maintaining momentum and sustaining action
around Australia. To achieve this we established the Bicycling
Achievement Awards in 2002.
Since
their inception of the Australian Bicycling Achievement Awards, the range and
quality of nominations has increased considerably illustrating the
excellent work happening around Australia in shaping the future of
bicycling.
All
nominees will be included in a booklet that is distributed far and
wide. Winners in each category will also receive a trophy. The
deadline for nominations will be announced soon.
