PCC Policy and Guidelines
The PCC is affiliated with Ontario Cycling (OC). We follow all policy guidelines from OC with the goal of providing a professional and well organized club.
We understand the number of policies can be seen to be overwhelming, but they do provide a foundation for all our decisions and the operations of the club. OC and the insurance coverage provided for the club and its members on club rides and activities is based on the club adopting these policies.
All members must conduct themselves within these policies and guidelines.

For Ride Leaders
