With school back in session this week and the days becoming shorter and darker, now is the time to be extra cautious on our roads.
Cyclists, walkers, children on bikes, moms with strollers - we're all at risk on Thetis Island roads. In an effort to raise awareness and promote road safety, this Sunday from 10am-3pm will be the first Thetis Island Slow Down Day!
Join us in the yard next to the People's Apothecary Garden (#62 North Cove Road) to share creative ideas, ID the high-risk corners on the Island, walk or cycle the road and join volunteers who will be prepping a chip trail from the corner of Pilkey Point road to the corner of Mission Road. There will be supplies available to make signs and a lemonade stand and bake sale to raise funds for the chip trail. Everyone is welcome and costumes, horns and party hats are encouraged. Let's make a scene and raise the level of awareness around speed and safety for all road users.
Parking: we suggest parking at the school, Forbes Hall or on Mission road.
We hope for a great turn out and a fun event,
Brianna and Carolyn
