Youth en Route
@youthenroute.bsky.social
Working towards empowering healthier youth to have the agency to get around their communities independently.

Don't forget, we're going to be Hallowheelin' with @calgaryclimatehub.ca on Saturday. We have a hunch there might be some ghoulish, bike-sucking vampires on the prowl - bring some garlic, or follow bike locking best practices to avoid theft!

Ride leaves from City Hall at 10 a.m. #yycbike

We are sad the teachers strike is impacting our work.
We appreciate all the work teachers do to manage challenging class sizes and complex learners.
Some teachers are organizing a Ride for RED Friday. We'll be there, wearing red and in our best biking form! Join us!

Youth en Route is hiring? Do you love cycling? Do you recognize how two wheels can empower youth by expanding transportation choices? This might be the role for you. Could be part time during school or retirement, or more of a full time role. Reach out! #yycbike youthenroute.ca/were-hiring-...

A lot more goes on than what meets the eye at Youth en Route. Last week was our moving day! The Youth en Route team repaired and moved our fleet of bikes from Father Lacombe high school to Our Lady of the Rockies high school.

Today, we rolled with:
