What do you consider an event?

Hi Everyone, looking for your help to spread the word. On Thursday, November 16, at approx. 1 pm, at Confederation Park in Hamilton, approximately 150 meters from the Grays Rd Park entrance, a male cyclist on a roadbike struck a female pedestrian head-on.The cyclist, part of a group of approx. four others, all dressed in the same yellow windbreakers, was heading towards Burlington. The impression was that they seemed to belong to a group or a club. The female pedestrian, walking a dog in the direction towards Greys Rd, was subsequently taken to the hospital by ambulance, sustained brain trauma and neck and back injuries. Any details regarding the cyclist's identity, the cycling group affiliation, any witnesses of the incident, or anyone that spoke to the cyclists, or any other related information are crucial. Kindly call 647-708-2677 or reach out to Hamilton Police 905-546-4925, citing incident number 23-825559.

Attention fall cyclists! If you’re out riding gravel or mountain bike trails we want to remind everyone to be safe during the fall hunting season. Please remember to dress visibly and wear bright orange if possible.

While the popular deer hunting season in Ontario varies by region and hunting method, in most areas it runs October to the first two weeks of December.

Check with your local trail or conservation management organization for hunting policies, but be aware hunting may take place in the following areas: Crown land, municipal/county forests, limited number of provincial parks and wildlife areas, some conservation areas, and private land.

For more information visit www.ontario.ca/document/ontario-hunting-regulations-summary/white-tailed-deer and www.ofah.org/

This survey made me realize that I am a guy who uses a bike for transportation and not a cyclist. A lot of the survey appeared to focus on recreation which is not often how I use my bikes.
