Day 73 - Vermilion Bay, Ontario - 92 km
- Mon, June 23, 2008
This morning started off with a nice 30 km hand cycle towards Vermilion Bay fueled by another gourmet breakfast served by our hosts, Larry and Marilyn Buhler. The team then headed back to Kenora to attend a noon meeting at the Kenora Rotary Club. Thank you to President Jim Retson and everyone at the Kenora Rotary Club for your donations, and for the support you have shown to us over these past couple of days. Before we said goodbye to Kenora and carried forth on our journey, we stopped for groceries and a bank deposit before checking bus schedules to arrange for Chris to travel ahead of the team and assist with preparations for Thunder Bay.
Day 72 - Kenora, Ontario - Non-Cycling Day
- Sun, June 22, 2008
The Very Reverend Hugh Matheson and St. Alban’s Anglican Cathedral warmly welcomed the Cycle to Walk team this morning as part of its community waffle house fundraiser for the church. Thanks to everyone for supporting the Cycle to Walk by donating and by purchasing t-shirts. While I was at the booth, a couple who used to live in the Yukon, Murray and Carol Morison, approached me and said they both appreciated all the work that was being done by Cycle to Walk.
Day 71 - Kenora, Ontario - Parade Cycling
- Sat, June 21, 2008
Members of the Kenora Rotary Club have been so supportive of Cycle to Walk while we’ve been in town. Jim Retson, Rod Riopel, Lloyd Mack, Buck Matiowski, and Larry Buhler have assisted in arranging events, press coverage, accommodations, meals, and so much more to ensure that the Cycle to Walk message would be heard in Kenora.
Day 70 - Kenora, Ontario - Non-Cycling Day
- Fri, June 20, 2008
Below are some of the questions from students I answered today while visiting Ecole Ste. Marguerite Bourgeoys here in Kenora. Today’s visit was my last school presentation until classes resume again in September. Thank you to everyone for showing so much interest in the Cycle to Walk today. It’s important that we all work together to educate others about polio and the need to get rid of it forever, and to assist polio survivors in poor countries.
Day 69 - Kenora, Ontario - 69 KM
- Thu, June 19, 2008
The team is ecstatic to have just rolled into the province of Ontario. We arrived in Kenora around dinner time and were warmly welcomed by Rotarian Larry Buhler at the infamous Huskey the Muskey Fish in downtown Kenora.
Day 67 - Winnipeg, Manitoba - Wrap Up!
- Tue, June 17, 2008
We had originally decided for today to be a cycling day, however, the team collectively decided that it would be best to stay put in Winnipeg for just a little longer. We’re quickly approaching the longitudinal centre point of Canada, which is a very exciting milestone. Kilometre-wise, we will reach our midpoint east of Thunder Bay, ON.
