10 March A Day in the Sun
Present : Louis Rubenstein- Minutes by Judy
This handsome athlete is about to set out on a lengthy bike ride. He is armed with a snack, a map and lots of courage and stamina. We expected to pick him up at 4:30pm but he couldn’t wait for us and after dropping off his rented bike he decided to walk home to our Florida abode- about a three mile stroll! He is alive and ready for the rest of the day’s activities. Right now he is relaxing with a g and t watching the golf and hoping to pick up some tips for his 18 holes tomorrow.
P.S. On the same day A.T. Lane took a ride around the mountain in Montreal. A picture of that ride is also provided to show the sunny conditions of both cities.

At the Westmount Association of Pedestrians and Cyclists table for Earth Hour there was a model of Sherbrooke street, modified to have bicycle paths. We also had paper slides showing how the association promotes safe active transportation by improved Engineering, Education and Enforcement. The model generated much interest by passers by along with the pipe band.
