Inside the Milton Velodrome, at the Mattamy National Cycling Centre
A Milton man is among group of three who will serve on Cycling Canada’s Board of Directors.
The vote was held Cycling Canada’s member Provincial/Territorial Sport Organizations at their Annual General Meeting in September. There were ten nominees, with the following three being chosen:
- Mark Collins (Milton, ON)
- Louizandre Dauphin (Abbotsford, BC)
- Denise Ramsden (Toronto, ON)
Each of these directors will serve three-year terms in the role of Director-at-Large.
The Cycling Canada Board also elected Collins to serve as Chair of the Board for a term that will conclude at the next Annual Meeting in September 2025. This is Collins’ second year as Chair, succeeding Pierre Laflamme (Quebec, QC), who had served as Chair since December 2018.
Stepping down from the Cycling Canada Board is Curt Harnett (Toronto, ON), who served from September 2019 to 2024.
“The Board would like to recognize and thank Curt for his significant contributions over his time on the Board, particularly in the areas of fundraising, where he spearheaded the launch of the Club 1882 program.”
Continuing their ongoing terms on the Cycling Canada Board of Directors are Directors-at-Large Lara Check, Andrea Eby, Pierre Laflamme and Kelly Murray. The position of Athlete Representative continues to be held by Forrest Riesco by virtue of his role as Chair of the Cycling Canada Athletes’ Council.
The role of the Board of Directors is to provide overall strategic direction, leadership and stability for the organization. The Board establishes the overall mission and purpose for the organization and it is responsible for a number of key governance-related activities including approving the appointment of (and providing direction to) the CEO and senior management team, the development and adoption of organizational policies, financial oversight and approval of the annual budget.
