At Creekside Community Centre, Vancouver. This is a global day of action organized by 350.org to raise awareness about the need for climate action. The theme is Moving Planet, and bikes and sustainable transportation are the focus. Local action in Vancouver includes this event sponsored by BEST, and featuring the CCPA's Marc Lee and Eric Doherty, two of the co-authors on our Transportation Transformation climate justice report, plus Ben West of the Wilderness Committee (who co-published the report with us).
Other presenters include as well as individuals from CrazySustainableCommute.org, eatART.org, along with Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition's Commuter Station with refreshments, bike maps and encouragement! BEST will also have its Free and Safe Bicycle Valet services available! Cycle if you can - the forum will be inside, so be it relentless rain or relentless sunshine, you can expect to take cover at Creekside!
