As Presenting Sponsor, MEC has pledged to supply gear and prizes for Canadian events, as well as promote the Take A Kid program, and wherever possible, attend official events.
October 5, 2013 marks the tenth annual celebration of Take A Kid Mountain Biking Day, and with MEC’s support, it is our goal to grow the program to at least 40 events in Canada (a 25% increase over last year) and also to have every province represented on the events calendar.
During the month of March 2013, MEC is also running the You Vote Your Cause campaign, pledging to donate $1 for each vote in its Board of Directors election. IMBA Canada’s Take A Kid program was selected, along with the Canadian Avalanche Centre and Leave No Trace Canada. Funds raised from this campaign will support Take A Kid event programming for 2013.

2013 is the 10th Anniversary of Take A Kid Mountain Biking Day and we’re celebrating!
It’s our goal to get as many kids on bikes as possible this year. Find new resources, posters, and a revamped event planning toolkit on our website.
With a dedicated staffer running the program, clubs hosting events will see their official events on our national map, as well as receive goody packages as early as April 2013.
And while the official international date falls on Saturday, October 5, 2013, we’re encouraging clubs and partners to host events throughout the year.
