“What was supposed to be a ride to promote cycling safety and awareness in Sudbury turned tragic when a cyclist was struck by an oncoming vehicle on Long Lake Road in front of about 200 cyclists. I was one of the cyclists in the front of the pack who saw the horrible accident take place, after looking up at the sound of screeching brakes. We were taking part in a ride organized by the Ontario-based Share the Road Cycling Coalition, on a beautiful evening in Sudbury. We had just stopped for a moment of silence to pay tribute to cyclists across Canada who have been injured or killed while taking part in an activity they enjoyed.
At this time, there is only a little news on the condition of the cyclist who was struck, although I heard from other cyclists that he was conscious. Emergency personal were on the scene immediately after the accident happened. Tonight’s online edition of the Sudbury Star is reporting that the cyclist was injured, but not killed.”

“A cyclist was hit by a vehicle on Long Lake Road on Tuesday evening during an event intended to promote cycling safety. The cyclist was struck and suffered a broken arm, according to witnesses participating in the second annual Greater Sudbury Share the Road campaign.”
This survey, the first of its kind in Canada, provides citizens in 31 cities across the country with comparative data on how well—or poorly—their city is run, measured by the cost and quality of the public services it delivers. (Why 31? We took the 30 largest cities in Canada, added whatever provincial capitals were not on the list, then subtracted a few cities from the Greater Toronto Area for better regional balance. Somehow that left 31.)
On a recent trip to Québec City, I couldn’t help but be captivated by les Fascinantes momies d’Égypte’s advertising campaign. This strong campaign was beautifully executed by Montréal’s Bleublancrouge. Print ads, tv spots and everything in between were developed with utmost quality and professionalism.

It is sad to see the great CTV anchorman step down after 35 years of excellent reporting.
“Robertson said that staying “anchor for life,” as his bosses have welcomed him to do, was a nice thought but not practical. “I didn’t want my head to go bang-down on the desk at the age of 89. It might be great for the ratings but it wouldn’t be good for me.”” via healthzone
