Today, the team worked with Father Bill Stadnyk to figure out the logistics for some Cycle to Walk community events which are taking place in Sault Ste. Marie this weekend. After a bit of route reconnaissance, it was off to a local bike shop, Vélorution, for a tune up. Thanks to Andre and all of the staff for the in-kind service and support!

In the afternoon, it was great to sit outside on the lawn at Bishophurst and participate in an interview with Carol from Sootoday.com. Shortly after the interview, we headed to my old high school and take a picture. I had an opportunity to wander the halls and reminisce, I even met up with a staff member, Mary, who I knew back from my days as a student. It was great to see her again!

At the end the day, I participated in a live interview with Dan Lessard from CBC Radio One in Sudbury, who was very enthusiastic about the campaign. It was great to chat about everything we’ve been up to.  Cycle to Walk is going strong!
