Hi everyone!

Over the past few seasons, project lead Jon Benson has been collecting archival material that shows the history of cycling activity and activism in Winnipeg. We've really enjoyed learning the stories that have come in and being reminded of different Winnipeg curiosities, challenges, and achievements. Part of what we hoped to do, aside from reconnecting at a time of continued relative isolation, was to demonstrate the long time and ongoing commitment Winnpeggers have made to create a cycling city. This came through, big time!

We want to celebrate! Jon is organising a party at the Edge Gallery, which will include display of some of the submissions as well as story telling from a number of contributors.

Join us/please share! Thursday June 23 from 7-9pm at the Edge Gallery. Storytellers will include:

Peter Obendoerfer Beth McKechnie Merrill Grant Stephanie Chow Allis Kolynchuk Konrad Krahn (Winnipeg City Archives)

Please bring your mask! And feel free to share this invitation to anyone who may be interested.

Thanks very much to the City of Winnipeg Archives, the Winnipeg Foundation, and archivist Sarah Story for helping us make this happen!
