CALL FOR BOARD DIRECTORS
Help Us Keep Guelph Moving. Join the GCAT Board of Directors for 2026!
The Guelph Community for Active Transportation (GCAT) is on a roll.
In the last year alone, our collective voice has reshaped the city. Together, we:
- Secured the reinstatement of funding for winter bike lane plowing, ensuring year-round access for active travelers.
- Celebrated the opening of the long-awaited Emma-to-Earl Bridge, connecting neighborhoods like never before.
- Lit up the night with our biggest-ever Bike the Night event.
- Solved parking headaches with our popular Bike Valet service at the Multicultural Festival and Ribfest.
We are pushing change, we are growing, and we are just getting started.
Now, we need YOU to help us navigate the next leg of the journey.
As we look toward 2026, we are seeking enthusiastic, motivated individuals to join our Board of Directors. Whether you are a daily commuter, a weekend trail rider, or simply someone who believes in a more accessible Guelph, we want you at the table.
What We Are Looking For:
- Diverse Voices: We want representation from all backgrounds, active transportation modes, and all wards across the city.
- Action-Oriented Leaders: This is a working board. Our members don’t just attend meetings; they drive change.
- Commitment: Board members typically contribute 10–20 hours per month leading committees, organizing events, and advocating for safer streets.
- Communication, Social Media, and Fundraising Skills: We have a need for board members with skills and experience in communications and fundraising. Help get our message out!
Why Join? This is your chance to move beyond the sidelines. You will work directly with a high-energy team, gain tangible experience in advocacy and non-profit governance, and see the direct results of your work on Guelph’s streets.
The Details:
- Application Deadline: Monday, March 8th, 2026.
- Election Date: Board seats will be voted upon at our Annual Meeting on March 13th, 2026.
