Strength in numbers: what’s possible for cyclists in your area and beyond?

This an opportunity to sit down informally and discuss priorities and strategies for improving cycling east of the Don Valley.

The Toronto Cyclists Union and the Toronto-Danforth local, Ward 29 Bikes, invite cyclists to come to a friendly east-end meet-up.  Join us at 7pm on Tuesday Nov. 3 in the Council Chambers of the East York Civic Centre, 850 Coxwell. ( 1k north of Coxwell subway or take O'Connor bus #70 north)

Our hope is that you’ll meet some fellow cyclists from your own neighbourhood. Time will be put aside for you to talk with them and exchange information. Refreshments will be served.

Cycle 26 and Ward 29 Bikes are both successful east-end local advocacy groups that began through the Toronto Cyclists Union's Ward Advocacy Program.  Ward 32 are in the process of starting a group. How might such a group benefit your ward?  To see a map of the municipal wards of Toronto, click here.

Present at the meeting will be Yvonne Bambrick, Executive Director of the Toronto Cyclists Union.  

You may already be engaged in cycling advocacy, or perhaps you are considering getting involved.  This meeting is to encourage east-end citizens to volunteer, organize and help grow within the context of our growing union: advocating locally to realize the larger goal of transforming Toronto into a city that makes space for cyclists.

If you know anyone else who might be interested, please pass this along. All are welcome, and we are focussing our promotional efforts to getting people out from the following neighbouring east-end Wards that border on the Danforth.
