The District of West Vancouver, the City of North Vancouver and Lynn Valley elementary were each recipients at the fourth annual HUB Cycling Bike Awards.
The cycling advocacy group handed out the hardware at a Feb. 28 ceremony at Science World.
For the second consecutive year the prize for best elementary school was bestowed on Lynn Valley elementary.
The school recorded 928 two-wheeled trips during Bike to School Week, accounting for 52 per cent of commutes to and from school, according to HUB.
West Vancouver captured the first Infrastructure Improvement Award for its work on the Ambleside Spirit Trail.
The district did “exceptional work” in creating safe, separated walking and cycling routes, according to a release from HUB.
The City of North Vancouver also got into the action, snagging a silver award for providing bike storage and a repair station at city hall and the library.
HUB awarded North Vancouver for “the close proximity of these buildings to bike routes (and) the provision of innovative bike racks.”
A total of 32 cities, schools, advocacy groups and companies received awards.
