I’m happy that summer’s over and back in school: Cycle to Walk can once again connect its message with young learners and leaders. Today, the team was invited into Professor Barbara Campbell’s Global Issues class at the University of Prince Edward Island to talk about polio in our world and what Cycle to Walk is doing to help address the problem. The presentation was in front of 60 students and faculty members, however, the presentation was captured on video to ensure that 640 additional students would have the opportunity to hear the message via podcast. Thank you so much, Professor Campbell, for inviting us. I’d also like to thank all the students for being so attentive and for showing so much interest in the Cycle to Walk campaign.

After leaving UPEI, the team made its way towards the Rotary Club of Charlottetown’s lunch meeting. It’s always great to be able to share the message of Cycle to Walk with people who have worked so hard for so many years towards the Global eradication of polio. Rotarian Umesh Gupta introduced our presentation, and the Rotary Club of Charlottetown committed funds to Cycle to Walk. The club also applauded the team’s efforts to bring more awareness to the issue of polio. At the meeting, we got the chance to meet with Bob Moffatt, who was in touch with Cycle to Walk organizers while we were still in Québec.

It was a quick trip afterwards to the residence of the Lieutenant Governor of Prince Edward Island at Government House. Her Honour Barbara A. Hagerman was so pleased to welcome the team and hear more about the incredible journey we have been on. The team was excited to learn that Her Honour will host the Commissioner of Yukon, The Honourable Geraldine Van Bibber, when she arrives in PEI in a couple of days.

Tonight the team will enjoy Anne: the Anne of Green Gables Musical after tickets were donated by Wayne Hambly, a local Rotarian. Thanks so much everyone for your support of Cycle to Walk and allowing us to experience a bit of Island culture!
