Hi All,

If you live in Halton (Burlington, Oakville, Milton, Kilbride etc) and you want to see the Canadian National Road Cycling Championships for 2011 & 12 held in Burlington, please:

  1. send the following note to Burlington City Hall - Kim Philips - in support of the event
    1. see sample note below
    2. emails need to be received by noon on Wed Mar 4
    3. but please do it sooner, I know the City staff are very busy
  2. Attend Burlington City Hall on Wed March 4th at 6:30 for a presentation of the formal request in support of the Road Championships
    1. see summary below
    2. The City Staff, who happen to be in support of the bid, have requested that we be present en masse.
    3. Can you attend? Can we pack the room with Burlington and Reg. of Halton cyclists? 
      1. Please pass the word - even to your non-cycling friends
      2. please just show up, no need to respond to this note
  3. Please Cascade to people on your email list ASAP
    1. but pop them in the BCC for privacy
The email to the Burlington City Clerk can be as simple as this -- or you can write your own blurb

Dear City Clerk Kim Phillips:

I, a resident of Burlington (or Oakville, Milton, or other town in Halton - you need to live in Halton to submit this note!), would like to express my support for Burlington hosting the 2011 & 2012 Canadian National Road Cycling Championships. I feel that it would add to the life and prestige of the community and will be money well invested.

Your Name

Address

phone number

####### end of message to be sent #########

If you wish to speak (in support hopefully) at the Council Meeting please let Clerk Phillips know so in your letter. If you do speak please try to keep it short - say under a minute.

Before the council meeting we'll have a quick meeting outside the council chambers and afterwards we'll have a longer meeting of the organizing committee at the bar just south of City Hall.

####### here is a summary of the event #########
  • Canadian National Road Cycling Championships
  • 2 weekends abutting July 1 in 2011 & 2012
  • mix of individual time trials and road races
  • the road race course will be between Aldershot and Waterdown utilizing Snake, Waterdown and North Shore roads - Lasalle Park, Aldershot would be start-finish
  • a criterium in Downtown Burlington
  • all levels of Nationals applicable road competitors
  • want to add a major fund raising ride, internationally advertised, to the schedule of events - to maximize tourism spending and sponsor r.o.i. 
  • expected economic return to Burlington each year is around $700,000 + what the fund raising ride brings in

Many thanks!
