Century Group has hosted a Bike In at this time of year, but decided to modify the event to give the entire community a chance to be involved.

Century Group and the Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall will host the inaugural Tsawwassen Community Rides next weekend.

The new community event, set for Saturday, Sept. 9 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., is aimed at promoting health and fitness in a free, family-friendly environment.

For the duration of the event, guests are invited to enjoy community display booths in the south mall breezeway such as the Boundary Bay Lions food truck, Tsawwassen CoPS, Sublime Art Supplies and more.

At 11 a.m., seniors can take part in a Passport Walk throughout the mall, where they will collect stamps to be entered to win a prize.

All seniors are welcome and can pick up a passport at Rotary Square near Blenz Coffee.

At noon, there will be a children’s decorated bike parade through and around the mall, with ribbons awarded for best decorated bikes. This is geared for children two to seven, but all are welcome. Strollers, wagons, scooters and tricycles will also be accepted as entries. This parade will end with a magic show by Bobby the Magician as well as face painting.

At 1 p.m., experienced and casual bike riders can take part in a guided 15-kilometre ride through Tsawwassen. Once riders return to the mall, they will be able to use the complimentary bike valet and enjoy musical performances by the students and instructors from Studio Cloud 30, home of Juno nominee Warren D. Flandez. Registration and participation waivers can be signed from 11 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.

Century Group, which previously hosted a Bike In at this time of year, has modified that event to give the entire community a chance to be involved.

The event is supported by community partners Bria Communities, HUB Cycling, Boundary Bay Cycle Club and Tsawwassen Business Improvement Association.
