Canada Day and Cycle to Walk in Whitehorse

by Executive Director, posted in Road Updates - Wed, July 2, 2008

Cycle to Walk was out front and centre for Canada Day celebrations in Whitehorse. Enthusiastic board members, staff and children of all ages showed up to walk and ride in the parade and work our booth at Shipyards park. While the better part of the day was grey and rainy, there was no lack of participants and we had a great day overall. Many people stopped by our booth to give donations, have their pinkies painted purple and to buy wristbands and t-shirts in support of the campaign.

Commissioner Geraldine Van Bibber stopped by to show her support as did many others throughout the day. We know the road team had a fantastic day in Thunder Bay and even though they are far away, we were working right beside them on the home front. Many thanks to all the children, donors and participants in the parade and on the grounds. Special thanks to Larry Baxter for riding our members in his sweet little convertible. Cheers.
