We Do Our Work in Six Areas
Athlete
Grants
We provide financial support directly to athletes for 2-4 years – helping them secure living incomes in professional trade teams.
Camps
Designed to deliver craft, skills, and knowledge – expanding athlete capability beyond physical preparation. Delivered directly; or working with partner teams/programs.
Mentoring
Athletes & Teams
We mentor athletes and trade teams. Our athlete mentoring program is led by former World Tour rider Sarah Poidevin.
Special Project
Grants
We identify areas of strategic need, and fund special projects – in partnership with other cycling focused NGOs in Canada.
Events
We support events for developing athletes with ambitious goals to regenerate Canada’s domestic racing calendar.
Advocacy
We advocate to international teams, generating awareness for Canadian talent and improving pathways to pro cycling.
OUR PURPOSE
OUR PROCESS
Love the sport • support the athletes • keep trying new things • have fun
Alongside our grants & athlete programs, we tell stories, have #conversations, and constantly seek new ways to inspire, educate, or inform athletes, their coaches, and teams to be boldly better every day.
BTG’s most recent period review revealed four recurring themes influencing our current work: knowledge transfer/sharing; improving race-coaching; modernizing training; and developing domestic camps & competition.
