Butlers Distributing is happy to announce that for the second year in a row we will be involved with Bike to School week.

We will be involved with the Bike Rodeo happening at regional schools  in May.

Each year, School District 23 and the i-go regional active transportation program partners to deliver bike education programs to elementary schools throughout the region. Bike rodeos are offered leading up to Bike to School Week and help to ensure both students and parents are better equipped/prepared to make cycling to school a regular habit. This year the program will be delivered to an estimated 2500 students in 12 schools throughout the region!

Neil Butler will talk to the grade 6 elementary schools about products made of corn and served juice in corn cups.

Here is a list of the Presentation dates:

May 10th South Rutland Elementary -200 Mallach Road
May 12th Pearson 700 Pearson Road –
May 13 Rose Valley 1680 West Lake Road West Kelowna –
May 16th Black Mountain 1650 Gallagher Road –
May 17th Spring Valley 470 Ziprick –
May 18th Chute Lake 5240 Lark St –
May 20th Glenrosa 3565 McIver Road West Kelowna –
May 24th Hudson 1221 Hudson West Kelowna

The purpose of these Rodeos is to teach the elementary children (grade 1 to 5 inc.) proper road etiquette, bicycle safety, importance of proper tire pressure and good sound bicycle maintenance ie. brakes and loose parts are to be repaired, they do in conjunction with different bicycle shops that are in attendance at each school during the Rodeo.

The kids are mentored by the grade 6 students, so we are involving all of the elementary children. This has been very valuable and informative for them all.

Neil Butler shares with them the importance of NOT USING STYROFOAM PRODUCTS and serves them juice in “corn cups” during the event.
