Administrative Support Contractor - Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition
Administrative Support Contractor Job Posting
The Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition
The Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition is a non-profit society that works toward improving conditions for cycling in the Lower Mainland. The VACC believes that increased bicycle use has the potential to significantly reduce traffic congestion, improve health conditions that result from inactive living, and enhance our urban environment.
The VACC works to change the circumstances that currently discourage bicycle use: poor or non-existent cycling facilities and lack of appropriate education for both cyclists and motorists. You will find the VACC out in your community on your commute to work during Bike to Work Week in May, or at BEST's Pancake Breakfast during June Bike Month, and at other events around the Lower Mainland. If you take your bike on the SkyTrain, you can thank the VACC for their advocacy, which helped to make this a reality. More information about the VACC may be found at www.vacc.bc.ca.
