NOTICE:
Today is International Car Free Day.
In Toronto meet artists, activists and social conveyers on Queen Street (downtown) at 9am to purchase YOUR parking spot. The morning movement encourages people to come downtown, purchase a parking ticket and then occupy the space for cultural, artistic or social endeavours.
Also, at 5:30pm meet the crew at Trinity Bellwoods Park where they will organize and launch a Car Free Day Parade. The parade takes place rain or shine.
Details of the day are as follows:
Park your bicycle on Yonge Street, North of Shuter Street and South of Dundas Street, and learn about alternative modes of transportations, health issues related to pollution, the new bicycle locker program, or just network and find out what you can do to save the planet at one of our environmental displays. You can also enjoy some great art, get a free bike tune up during the event, get your face painted, draw or blow bubbles in the play zone, challenge someone at basketball, show your moves in street hockey, watch some dancers and listen to live music from artists such as Matt Black, MJ, , The Monkey Bunch, White Gold Band Productions and more. This is an all ages event.

Not to ring my own bell, but every day is car-free for me. However, this idea of 'occupying' a parking space is brilliant; one must get up rather early, though... :-S
