La version fran�aise suit : City of Ottawa Looking for Leaders of the Cycling Pack
The City of Ottawa is now accepting nominations for the fourth annual Bruce Timmermans Cycling Awards, to recognize leading organizations and exemplary individuals who show a strong commitment to cycling. Nominations close August 31, 2002. Businesses, associations or governments who have encouraged their employees and customers to cycle are eligible for the award for organizations. A separate honour is given to one local citizen who has been a role model for cycling in the community. "The City of Ottawa is very proud of our community's dedication to cycling," says Madeleine Meilleur, Chair of the City's Transportation and Transit Committee. "The Bruce Timmermans Awards allow us to thank individuals and organizations for promoting the bicycle as a clean, safe and efficient way of getting around town." The awards program, originally known as the Ottawa Urban Cycling Awards, were named after Bruce Timmermans in 1999. Timmermans, a well-known and highly respected member of the cycling community, was an active member of the Ottawa Bicycle Club and a founder of Citizens for Safe Cycling. He had a reputation for working tirelessly to encourage more people to cycle and cycle safely, well into his retirement years. Previous recipients of the organization award include Export Development Corporation, Nortel Networks and Canada Post Corporation. A complete list of winners is published on the City of Ottawa's web site. Nomination forms are available at City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West, at any City of Ottawa Satellite Service Centre, or online at http://city.ottawa.on.ca/city_services/traffic/26_1_8_2_2_8_en.shtml.
