Preamble

 

The mission of the Forest City Velodrome Association is to expose and attract the public to high-quality, Olympic-style bicycle racing through the staging of track cycling races involving all categories from cadet to masters of both genders, and through offering the public the opportunity to participate in recreational and sportif riding, cross-training, and citizen racing.

 

The Forest City Velodrome Association also aims to develop the next generation of Ontario’s and Canada’s elite track cyclists, and contribute to the development of cyclists across all cycling disciplines.

 

The Velodrome offers the public a venue in which to ride recreationally, improve health and fitness, and develop cycling skills away from weather and traffic.  The Forest City Velodrome Association is committed to attracting new people not just to the sport of cycling, but to the activity of cycling for recreational and utilitarian purposes through making its facility extensively available to non-competitive members.

 

The Forest City Velodrome Association aims to provide all who come to participate or watch an opportunity to learn the values of self-reliance, self-discipline, co-operation, and ability to cope with adversity that participation in sport has to teach, and to teach these values in a broadly inclusive context.

 

Above all, the Forest City Velodrome exists as a place for people to come out and have fun.

 

The operations in this manual are set out with these goals in mind.
