Montreal, Wednesday, August 10, 2022 - Vélo Québec, the Association des parcs régionaux du Québec, the Alliance Québec Vélo de montagne and the Association des stations de ski du Québec today joined forces to launch five video vignettes on mountain bike safety, a project made possible thanks to the financial support of the Quebec government. In a joint effort to promote best practices on the trails, this collaborative project will help convey a stronger message to an ever-growing number of users.
The aim of this project is to support managers in promoting mountain bike safety. The video vignettes will be launched at a rate of one per week, for five weeks, starting today on the Vélo Québec YouTube channel, and on each partner's social media channels. The themes covered, in order of broadcast, will be as follows:
