Background

In 2010/2011 the Burnaby Velodrome Club, in partnership with the Urban Native Youth Association, launched the Aboriginal Youth Cycling Program. Similar to our Junior Program, the Youth in the Aboriginal Youth Cycling program receive accredited coaching at the Velodrome and are given the opportunity to learn and develop as athletes and track cyclists. From the initial introduction to fine-tuning advanced techniques, it’s all possible with this program.
