** EVENTS **



*Thursday 7:30am, June 18 Bike On Elgin: A ride for better bike lanes*This
past week, a pedestrian was killed and two cyclists were seriously injured
in 2 separate accidents.
We will gather at City Hall before 8:00 AM
We will be holding a moment of silence on Marion Dewar Plaza
Right after 8, we will ride down Elgin until Macleod. The route will then
return to City Hall, however if you cannot do the entire route because of
work, that is very much okay, as long as everyone can ride down Elgin.
If you cannot attend because of work or COVID, send a letter! Call your
councillor!
