A position statement should include a description of the position, a brief rationale, and may include links to a white paper or to selected external resources. Position statements should be drafted in an accessible, positive way understandable to those not yet familiar with the issue. A position statement should fall within EBC’s mandate as articulated in our vision for cycling in Edmonton, and should address issues we wish to actively advocate on or issues about which there is a high likelihood we will be asked. Position statements should reflect EBC’s tradition of non-partisanship. All position statements, taken together, should reflect a coherent message.
