Subject: Let's Talk... BIKEnnale/WALKennale

Dear Granville Island Tenants

My name is David Meeker and I am the Assistant Special Event Project Manager for Vancouver

Biennale’s anticipated BIKEnnale/WALKennale event.

In this time of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are working behind the scenes to create healthy,

exciting programming that animates public space and provides safe opportunities for everyone

to enjoy while exploring Vancouver's culturally diverse neighborhoods.

The Vancouver Biennale has officially launched registration for the BIKEnnale/WALKennale “SIX

SUNDAYS THIS SUMMER” virtual event. A series of SIX virtual cycling/ walking tours leading

participants through Vancouver’s diverse communities, rich histories and powerful public art,

all anchored by our iconic Biennale public art installations (such as the A-maze-ing Laughter

installation at English Bay or the GIANTS mural on the concrete silos on Granville Island).

Each Sunday between July 26th - August 30th, registrants will receive new virtual maps anchored

by Biennale public art. The mission of the BIKEnnale/WALKnnale is to bring Vancouverites

together through the medium of active transportation in the city, using public art as the

catalyst.

I would love to have you involved as a partner. This including but not limited to providing

promotional giveaways for our weekly raffles and discounts for participants to use during our

SIX SUNDAYs event days. This could include presenting the promotional giveaways, discounts or

information at your establishment during our August 30th Sunday event titled “Granville Island

Day”. Physical involvement on the day of would need to involve Co-VID safety plans, and any

outdoor activation would also need approval through CMHC.

In return for Vancouver Biennale’s support and marketing through our extensive digital media

platforms and outlets. It is clear that we share a love of promoting engagement with art,

activity and local businesses in our community.

I’ve attached our sponsorship package to this email, please take a look and see how we might

count on you and your businesses participation. These are challenging times, let us support one

another where we can.

I would love to continue this conversation over email (to bikennale@vancouverbiennale.com)

or via a phone call (647.981.5271).

Thank you for your valuable time and I look forward to hearing from you as soon as you’re able!

Sincerely,

David Meeker
