Burnaby/Fraser Valley – In honour of the survivors of Canada’s residential schools, their families, and communities, Cycling BC, with the help of Jakroo Canada, is launching an orange cycling jersey designed by Tripleshot Cycling Club member and Indigenous artist Carey Newman. Through the orange jersey, Cycling BC aims to raise funds to bring awareness to the tragic history of Canada’s residential school system and help open up the conversation among our cycling community as we pedal towards healing and reconciliation.
Net proceeds from the sale of the jerseys will be directed to charities and organizations that support residential school survivor groups across Canada. We will do our best to direct funds based on the province where the sale of the jerseys originates.
The orange jersey will be available in adult and youth sizing in a short sleeve road version and a long sleeve mountain bike version. A technical hoodie using the same design as the jerseys will be available for sale as well.
Pre-orders for the orange jersey can be made at cyclingbc.net/shop now until October 7th and will ship out for delivery in early November.
