Bike to the Future presents the 2008 Annual Fall Forum: Why not Winnipeg?

Wednesday October 15th
University of Winnipeg Bulman Centre
6:30 to 9:30 PM

Registration is from 6:00 to 6:30.

The opening address will be given by Mayor Sam Katz.

We will have an expert panel to answer your questions about cycling infrastructure and issues in Winnipeg and Manitoba:

• Kerri Irvin-Ross, Manitoba's Minister of Healthy Living.
• Marilyn McLaren, CEO of Manitoba Public Insurance.
• A high-ranking member of the Winnipeg Police Service.
• Justin Swandel, Chair of City Council's Standing Policy Committee on Property and Development.
• Janice Lukes, Winnipeg Trails Association Coordinator.

The panel will be moderated by Bartley Kives, City Hall reporter for the Winnipeg Free Press, and it'll be broadcast on CKUW 95.9 FM.

Also: Displays – Skits – Discussion Groups – Food – Prizes

We'll also be selling memberships (new and renewals), tickets to the Bike Shorts Film Festival ($10), and Bike to the Future T-shirts ($20).

Note that all Bike to the Future memberships taken out in 2007 (and the free memberships given to 2008 Bike to Work Day participants) are due for renewal by our Annual General Meeting on November 18, 2008. All new and renewal memberships sold at the Fall Forum will be entered into a draw at the end of the evening for a major prize.

Wheely Green will be selling their Sustainability Guide ($20), which contains a free Bike to the Future individual membership.

There will also be info about the new-for-2009 Winnipeg cycling map (and a sign-up for route checking assignments).

Some other Bike to the Future partners will also have displays.

We hope you can join us for a lively evening of idea exchange between movers, shakers, and policy makers.

If you are interested in volunteering (many various tasks) please contact Jackie Avent.
