Ride for Conservation Series

Water gives life, energy and character to Canada. As a cyclist—when you pedal past scenic lakes, streams and ponds, guzzle cold water or splash it over your head after a hot ride — you know how precious our water resources can be.

The impetus for the Ride for Conservation Series comes from the demonstrable success of the Canada Life Ride to the Lake events hosted by DUC in Manitoba starting in 2017. These Rides were founded on the principles of community-building, engagement and awareness, and fundraising. In 2021, we exceeded our expectations for all these milestones, thanks to critical sponsorships and a groundswell of support for one of the most important ecosystems on the planet: our wetlands.

Jump in the saddle and join an inspirational Tour de Force that we call the Ride for Conservation Series of events!

Our water connects and supports us all.

But not everyone knows that wetlands have a role to play in the clean water that powers us at work, rest and play. Clean water starts with healthy wetlands: formidable forces of nature that have our back.

These incredible ecosystems provide environmental solutions Canadians need to enjoy the water we drink and use every day. Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) is the leading conservation organization that’s delivering these solutions in communities like yours across the country. But we can’t do it alone: we need your help.
