Winnipeg will be joining thousands of cities all over the world and making part of Winnipeg truly car-free, by closing down Albert Street front McDermott to Bannatyne in the Exchange District to all motorized traffic for the day. Join in for some Car Free Day celebrations.

Activities start at noon, and run until 5:00 PM.

Come play some street hockey, take part in the track stand competition and car free trivia contest, or play a game of chess on the giant on-the-street chess board. Visitors will also be invited to check out our mini 'park' space, a parking spot converted to greenspace for the day by Urban Eatin Gardeners' Co-op.

Car Free Day is rain or shine -- and if it rains, we'll be giving away a limited supply of umbrellas! Hope to see you there!
