Tragedy on Avenue Road not an Anomaly
Last Wednesday, Miguel Joshua Escanan’s young life was taken while riding his bike on Avenue Road, metres beyond the end of ActiveTO bike lanes (and where a speedway begins).

Learn how you can get involved in neighbourhood projects right now.
At this event you will:
Learn about the history of Cycle Toronto and our Ward Advocacy program.
Get up to speed on our campaigns for bike lanes on Bloor and bike lanes on Eglinton, with updates from our Working Group volunteers about how their work fits into the Etobicoke context as well as a #MinimumGrid of protected bike lanes across this city.
Take in the latest from Etobicoke's Ward Advocacy Groups, with "lightning pitches" for participation in a range of local campaigns, projects, and events.
After the presentations there will be a chance for everyone to connect one-on-one with the project leads about getting involved.
This event series is intended as a way to make it easier for new volunteers to get involved in Ward Advocacy, and to help identify overlaps in campaigns, projects, or events that transcend ward boundaries. It’s a chance to connect and coordinate, and to take our bike advocacy to the next level.

*Dates for upcoming events in other districts will be announced soon.
