PurposeThe National Capital Region has developed a successful and
sustainable set of sports events to accommodate local athletes. However, in
order to progress at any sport the athlete must leave the local area and
attend events that attract a greater talent pool. At the highest level these
events are both National and International. The purpose of the NCR Cycling
Bursary is to financially assist top local athletes to attend these events.
Past recipients have used the funds to attend Canada Cup mountain bike races
