Advocacy Program Re-Launch!

Toronto has a new Council with 14 new faces and a new mayor.  Now it's time to engage cyclists across the city to make their voices heard, from Scarborough to Etobicoke, demanding safe streets for all users.  

The Toronto Cyclists Union would like to invite you to our Advocacy Program Re-Launch Event!  Join us on November 27th from 1-5pm for a productive afternoon workshop where we can set goals and priorities for the next Council term. 

You'll hear speakers from different perspectives on effective cycling advocacy, including Dale Duncan, a former Councillor's assistant and Dave Meslin, founder of the Toronto Cyclists Union.  We will also provide resources such as large-scale maps for you to draw on and plan.  City staff and other successful cycling advocates, including Nancy Smith Lea from Toronto Coalition for Active Transportation, will be on hand to answer any questions and provide advice as we set goals.  This is a great opportunity to develop an effective plan with fellow bike union members for your area.
