Nominations for four Mississauga cycling awards are now open

Every year, the Mississauga Cycling Advisory Committee (MCAC) invites nominations for residents making a positive impact on cycling in Mississauga.

The committee presents four awards that recognize people, businesses and students who help make cycling safer, more accessible and welcoming, while encouraging active transportation in the community.

Nominations are now open for the Phil Green Recognition Award; the Cycling Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Recognition Award; the Business Recognition Award and the Youth/School Cycling Recognition Award.

Awards

Phil Green Recognition Award

Presented to a person or a group who has made a strong effort to promote or enhance cycling or other forms of sustainable transportation in Mississauga throughout 2026. The award continues to honour Mississauga resident, Phil Green, who was a founding MCAC member and worked diligently to promote safe cycling in Mississauga.

Cycling Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Recognition Award
