LDCC By-Laws and Policies

By-Laws

The LapDogs Cycling club is a non-profit corporation. As such we've got By-laws that outline how the club is run. LDCC members vote on the board of directors at the AGM each year. We are run exclusively by volunteers.  Please see our current By-Laws here.

Privacy Policy

The LapDogs take your privacy very seriously given that over the course of registration for various activities we do collect personal information on our members.  Certain of this information must be shared with the OCA and certain sponsors during registration. Members may choose to conduct transactions and share information with third parties during optional events but the LDCC will not share member information with third parties without consent. 

Our privacy policy is in development and should be up soon.

The OCA Privacy Policy which affects club members is currently, here.

Concussion Management

We take head injuries seriously and will implement reasonable practices to ensure that they are addressed appropriately. The LapDogs will follow the policy outlined, here.

The LapDogs have always advocated for diversity in our cycling community.  We welcome all people to experience the joy of cycling and aim to provide a supportive and caring environment for our members.  We do not tolerate exclusion, harassment, or unwelcome behaviours of any kind.
