Open Houses: Blue Bombers' stadium -- Event Day Management Plan -- AT aspect
You are encouraged to attend an open house and comment on the active transportation aspect of the new stadium's Event Day Management Plan. This is undoubtedly the first time active transportation will have an opportunity to have a significant effect in reducing vehicle congestion at stadium events.
There are six open houses:
February 29: Dalhousie School library, 262 Dalhousie Drive, 4:00 to 8:30 PM
March 3: Canad Inn Fort Garry, 1824 Pembina Hwy, 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM
March 5: Canad Inn Garden City, 2100 McPhillips Street, 4:30 to 8:00 PM
March 6: Access Transcona, 845 Regent Ave, 4:30 to 8:00 PM
March 7: Sturgeon Heights Community Centre, 210 Rita Street, 4:30 to 8:00 PM

Volunteer wanted: Pit Stop Assistant for Bike to Work Day
Bike to Work Day Winnipeg is looking for an enthusiastic and organized individual to join our steering committee as Pit Stop Assistant. This is a volunteer position that requires the candidate to be available for monthly planning meetings, as well as put in a few extra hours as needed to make the event a success (~4 to 10 hours per month). This person must also be available on Bike to Work Day (June 22) to assist the Pit Stop Coordinator in servicing pit stops around the city
In particular, we are looking for someone who would be able to take on coordinating food and beverages, which may include contacting food sponsors, and possibly mapping out where Pit Stops are in the city.
