Hi Sust-Mar! There is a new group forming: The Nova Scotia Cyclist Safety Association (NSCSA) The founding focus of this group is to provide opportunities for people to learn to bicycle safely in Nova Scotia. This will be a registered "Bike Club" with Bicycle Nova Scotia, and its first event will be to organize guided rides and a cycling safety session during Bike-to-Work Week (June 3-7, 2002). I'm doing most of the work on this right now. If you want to help, at this point, the group needs: - An official Secretary - (at least in name - I don't think there will be many meeting minutes to record). - volunteer guides (experienced cyclists) to help with "Guided Rides" in the mornings of Bike-to-Work Week. (contact me for details and schedules) - volunteer instructors for a "Cycling Safety Session" to be held on Thursday evening, June 6, from 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm. (Location still to be determined, but probably either Bloomfield Centre or George Dixon Centre.) Any assistance appreciated. wayne Wayne Groszko aa033@chebucto.ns.ca home phone: 902 429 0787 office phone: 902 490 6993 -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- SUST-MAR TIP: our archives are http://www.chebucto.ca/lists/sust-mar CBC enviro news-briefs follow: -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- DARTMOUTH RESIDENTS WORRY DISPOSAL SITE TOO CLOSE TO LAKES Some residents of Dartmouth North say they're worried a proposed construction waste recycling and disposal facility will contaminate the nearby lakes.
