The Problem

"Breakfast for Bikers" is a campaign at UBC-Okanagan to encourage and acknowledge those who commute to campus by bicycle. Our city is growing quickly and transit has been unable to keep up with the demands. The amount of single-vehicle travel is atrocious and parking at UBC-Okanagan has become close to impossible. Our campus is out of the way for most commuters but the easiest access is by bicycle. I am trying to promote active transportation as an easy, affordable and healthy opportunity while rewarding the individuals who are already taking the initiative.

Plan of Action

Once a month we will provide a free breakfast on campus for those who commute by bike. There will be tables set up with fresh, organic fruit, fair-trade coffee and pastries donated by local organizations. We will also provide information on the local bike community events and other environmental initiative on and off campus. Most of the food provided will come from local donors who will receive recognition. Breakfast will be free of charge for those who have cycled to school. However, anyone is welcome to join us in the courtyard for breakfast by donation that will go towards supporting youth sustainability initiatives.
