Hi everyone,
I’m part of a student group at the University of Winnipeg called the Ice Riders, and we are a non-profit organization there to help people have better access to the resources they need to bike all year round. We’re in the process of building a bike lab on the Downtown campus, which should be completed this spring, and it will be a base for anyone with a bike to come by for repairs, advice, or even to build a bike. Myself and close to fifty other students and non students are committed to volunteering our time to make this a success, but a real issue is funding.
The link below takes you to a video which was created by a few members and friends and submitted to the TD Go Green Challenge, where the successful candidates will receive $100,000.00 to go towards implementing their project. TD is doing a people’s choice award of $2,500.00, which is where your vote counts for this. Take a look if you’d like, and if you are so inclined please vote for them. Any vote helps, and so far we’re ahead of the pack!
Regards,
Michael Chiasson
PS please feel free to pass it on to anyone you like!
