Toronto is getting ready to host its second annual Car Free Day on Sunday, September 22nd, 2002. Last year a section of St. George Street was closed and there were many events hosted along that street. This year the organizers have taken a different approach and want to spread the celebrations across the city. There will be 15 "Open Your Street" events which are listed on their web site. Included in the listing are the times of the events, the location and the activities that will be taking place. The activities range from bike repair clinics, BBQs, face painting, street sports, yoga classes, and more.

Car Free Day is a world wide phenomenon. The goal is to reduce car dependancy and explore alternative forms of transportation, cycling being one of them. You can read more information at the International Car Free Day web site www.22september.org. More information about Toronto's Car Free Day is at www.carfreeday.ca

In addition to the events on September 22 there will be a film night on Saturday, September 21, 2002 at the Bloor Cinema at 6:45 pm. To get more infomation about that go to the Car Free Movie night page.
