Take To the Streets
Winnipeg first Canadian city to stage Ciclovia (2009 article)
Check out photos from the event!
We took to the streets in a big way Winnipeg! On Sunday, September 13 from 8am until 6pm, the entire north side of Broadway was closed to motorized vehicles from Main to Osborne connecting Assiniboine Park to The Forks for Ciclovia.
What's Ciclovia?
Ciclovia, meaning “bike way,” began in Bogotá, Colombia, where every Sunday major roads are blocked off and millions of people fill them running, walking, biking while enjoying free outdoor fitness classes like yoga and aerobics.
Ciclovia events have been held all over the world, but have yet to hit Canadian streets until now. Although talks exist for a Vancouver Ciclovia, Winnipeg was the first!
Numerous organizations are hoping to make this a regular event in Winnipeg, and hosted this pilot project to gauge public interest.
 The event featured a hay maze, a farmers’ market, street vendors, a kids’ zone, buskers, horse drawn wagons, outdoor fitness classes and other non-motorized fun. The band Oh My Darling wraped up the event with a special concert at The Forks’ Oodena Circle (pictured at right) at 4pm. The goal was to promote physical activity, community building and the environmental benefits of using non-motorized forms of transportation.
