Giving Back. Our Community.
Our founding partner, Marc Kazimirski, is an avid cyclist and was on the Canadian National Team for Cyclocross and Mountain Biking. Marc advocates for cyclists throughout British Columbia and is committed to promoting cycling safety and healthy living; As well as being a bike accident lawyer.
Through his passion for cycling, Marc created the KazLaw Community Foundation, which represents our commitment to the development of up-and-coming athletes in British Columbia. Part of our contribution is through the KazLaw Community Mountain Biking Award, which sponsors two deserving athletes to participate in the BC Bike Race. This is a seven day mountain bike adventure that is recognized as one of the toughest (and most fun) cycling events in the world. Read more about the BC Bike Race Kazlaw Community Award.
