EcoFair 2012 at the Barns

 Sunday, November 18 from 1-4 pm

 Come celebrate progress towards a greener and healthier future and help promote

greener living in our community at the EcoFair – a free event for the whole family!

 The Eco Fair at Wychwood Barns is an event that informs and inspires people to make sustainable choices in their homes, while also highlighting some of the wonderful green initiatives under way in our community. Last year, over 400 people attended to learn about activities and achievements in our neighbourhood and in our city, to explore new ideas, and to share green tips and tricks.

 This year’s 4th EcoFair features exhibits from vendors and green community groups, draft-proofing demos, eco kids’ activities, music, refreshments and much more!

The Fair is FREE and everyone is welcome!

Zombie Bike Lane Critical Mass

as we protest the closure of the Jarvis Bike lanes !!

According to City staff, the Jarvis St. bike lanes will be gone by early November, but they’ll still be undead for the increasing numbers of us who use them regularly to get to school and work, and just get around. So let’s come together one more time: dress up in your scariest Zombie Bike Lane costume and celebrate cycling in Toronto. RSVP for Zombie Bike Lane Critical Mass on their Facebook page here. Not on facebook? Meet at the corner of Bloor & Spadina at 6:00pm on Fri Oct 26th.

Doors open 7pm, Awards 7:30pm

We are in need of a new place to spin our wheels. The church on Queen Street West where we have been tucked away for the last number of years has been purchased by a developer and all tenants are required to leave as of December 31, 2012.

So far, we have a couple potential locations on the table but with the clock ticking, we are asking people  to help us find just the right place to set up shop. The need is for a roughly 1,000 sq ft space with a store front, preferably in an underserved community / priority neighbourhood in Toronto, accessible by walking, cycling, public transit and driving.

“Of course free, subsidized or below market rent would be a huge assist in keeping the organization on its feet, or …ahem, on its wheels” feels board member Eric Tchao.

Since 1993, both CBN staff mechanics and DIYers have repaired thousands of bicycles and diverted salvageable frames and parts from the landfill for reuse or recycling. “As a social enterprise CBN has played an important role over two decades in making cycling accessible to Torontonians and a new location will enable us to continue serving the community” commented board member Thomas Hasan.

We are asking anyone who knows of an available space that could suit CBN’s needs to contact  us at 416-504-2918 or  via info@communitybicyclenetwork.org.
