The Rotary Ride will commence at Spanish Banks West
Join us for the 2023 Rotary Ride for Hearing and help raise funds for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in BC.
This year, our ride will be a circular route, taking participants throughout Vancouver, Richmond, and Steveston.
We will commence our ride at Spanish Banks west and east to Burrard Bridge. The route takes cyclists around Stanley Park, back to Spanish Banks and out towards UBC. Then, cyclists will pedal through Richmond, on to Steveston, back to Vancouver and on to Spanish Banks, the Finish Line.
The route will be approximately 105km, with checkpoints at Cambie St crossing over the Fraser and Sanctuary Café in Steveston. Upon completion, riders will return to the starting line, where they can celebrate with friends and fellow participants and enjoy a barbecue lunch at Spanish Banks East.
Ample parking is available at the start line.
The Rotary Club of Vancouver’s Ride for Hearing is an annual fundraising event in support of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in British Columbia. Since its inception, we have raised over $3.6 million and have had a major impact on the lives of many children and adults who suffer from hearing loss.
These funds have been used to support Cochlear Implant Research at UBC, to establish the Rotary Hearing Centre at UBC Hospital, and the BC Rotary Hearing and Balance Centre at St. Paul’s Hospital. In addition, grants have been made to BC Children’s Hospital, Children’s Hearing and Speech Centre of BC, The Hearing Foundation of Canada, the BC Family Hearing Resource Centre, the UBC School of Audiology & Speech Sciences, and the Vancouver Hearing Centre to name just a few.
