Beyond Commuting: The Transformative Potential of Urban Cycling

This event has already taken place.

Rising Global Temperatures. Forest Fire smoke. Rising roadway deaths. Strained City Budgets. Across North America, we know we need to shift our land use and transportation patterns, but change can sometimes feel really hard. What can we learn from other cities who have already taken the lead?

Tom Babin, author and the host of the hit youtube channel Shifter has 88K subscribers and Shifter has more than 15 million views (one million in the last month alone).

He's joining us for a special Friday night story session about his journey to a million views on youtube, and global trends. We'll talk about cities, but we'll also talk about storytelling. How did Tom get started? What has he learned? What gives him hope?

Come for the social and bring your Q&A about better cities, safe streets, walkable, bikeable, active transportation and much more. Meet new friends and learn about ways you can improve your own neighbourhood. If you can't make it on Friday, Saturday we are doing a special group bike rride with @BikeThereYEG to the "Rocketship" Playground in Inglewood.
