The Guelph Community for Active Transportation is organizing the 2026 Pride Ride in Guelph, Ontario, to promote inclusive and safe cycling for people of all ages. The event aims to bring the community together while highlighting the importance of accessible travel options throughout the city.
Organizers are currently looking for local partners to help support the event through sponsorships and prize donations. Andrea Bidgood is the main point of contact for businesses or community members who want to collaborate on the upcoming ride.
The group recently finished a successful effort to ensure bike lanes remain clear during the colder months of the year. Although a motion to restore winter bike lane maintenance was narrowly defeated by City Council in a 7-6 vote, the funding was ultimately included in the 2026 city budget.
Mayor Cam Guthrie used executive powers to restore that maintenance funding following a push from local residents and advocates. Councillor Rodrigo Goller was also recognized by the organizers for his work in championing the effort to ensure the city continues to clear bike paths during the winter season.
