Well not yet anyways

This Friday IBEX will play host to a pit stop for Winnipeg’s annual Bike to Work Day meaning well, we’re gonna have a lot of bikers on our hands.

Winnipeg’s Annual Bike To Work Day is in its 5th year and its day aimed at a whole slew of great ideas. Commuters from all over town are encouraged to head to work on their trusty bicycle and will have the opportunity to stop at a number of pit stops hosted by local businesses (Like yours truly!), community members, and the organizing committee itself. First and foremost though the event aims to celebrate cyclist culture and promote the use of bicycles as everyday transportation in Winnipeg. I don’t think I need to sit here and rhyme off the benefits of that.. (See environment, saving on gas etc.)

Here’s the thing that’s really cool about something like this. Bike to Work Day is obviously going to attract more bike commuters than usual, obviously it isn’t going to be an ordinary day but its going to be a glimpse into the future of what is possible if more of us switched to sustainable transportation. Think about that as you participate or observe this year’s Bike to Work Day.

Here’s their video or visit their website to get some more info!

IBEX Payroll extends our profound respect and immeasurable gratitude to all the ancestors and keepers of the land on whose traditional territories our work takes place. We acknowledge that we are on Treaty 1 territory, the traditional gathering place of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene people and the traditional homeland of the Métis people. This land is sacred, historical, and significant.

Every time we acknowledge this truth, we have an invitation and an opportunity to reflect on the wrongs of the past, what we do in the present, and what we can do to continually honour the people whose lands and water we benefit from today.

This statement only acts as a first step in honouring the land we reside on and its peoples, and must be paired with education, understanding and informed action.
