The Sierra Club of Canada is hosting the City of Toronto's 2007 Car Free Day celebration on Yonge Street and Yonge-Dundas Square on Thursday, September 20 from 10 am to 2:00 pm.

World CarFree Day is this Saturday, September 22 in Toronto.

Come out and see how much fun carfreedom can be! Host a Parking Metre Party along Queen St West from 1 p.m., then join the Carfree Parade at 6 p.m. (5 p.m. assembly at Trinity Bellwoods, to head east).

How to host a parking metre party:
1. Scout out a parking spot where you'd like to spend the afternoon
2. Park your non-motorized "vehicle" (bike, trike, roller-skates, dinky-car etc.) along Queen West
3. Pay the meter: for $1.50 per hour the spot is yours! (Be sure to display your parking receipt on the "dash" of your "vehicle"!)
4. Have fun!

It's fun! It's legal! Bring your fellow velorutionaries!

Then, on Sunday, September 23, Bells on Bloor invites you to join their pedal powered parade.

We will ring our bells all the way from High Park to the ROM. Free bells will be distributed by Bell Captains. If I am given the honour of being a Bell Captain, my name will be Bella Lugosi. (Major Belle E. Ache has not yet confirmed my status.)
