ABOUT THE NCIM
The mandates of the NCIM are:
- Operate the track cycling programs at the Mattamy National Cycling Centre (MNCC). These programs span try the tracks and certifications for new riders all the way to race nights and advanced training for serious racers.

- Ability to engage and retain athletes within a sport specific development structure
