The importance of outdoor play, today on CTV Morning Live! The 5 minutes went by so quickly and I really wished I’d had more time to talk about bikes. @outdoorplayca.bsky.social @dalhealth.bsky.social @sflkirk.bsky.social www.ctvnews.ca/atlantic/vid...

A lot of stuff is hard right now and it felt like at least I needed this more than ever.
Just so very grateful for this community!

Hi friends, do you know any 3 & 4 year olds in Halifax or Annapolis Valley?
Enrol them in the SUNRISE Study! Email sunrise@acadiau.ca and we’ll get you booked in! We’re available as early as this Sunday afternoon at Dal for data collection 😀
Morris Street has a school on it - why is Tim Houston trying to make it less safe for students attending it? We just had a child killed in a residential area by a driver. How many more children are we willing to sacrifice to shave a few minutes off commute times? #SafeStreetsNow

10.06.2025 22:28 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I'm hearing that councillors who vote against the bike network will have to, themselves, bike to council meeting on whatever currently exists.
RIP rural and suburban Councillors.
We dream of doing this ride, and every ride, in protected bike lanes.
City councillors, don’t take away that dream.
The failure of IMP implementation was so predictable - lack of ambition, lack of authority & lack of cohesion all played a part in that failure & politicizing the issue will only make our roads less safe for anyone outside a car #ZeroVisionHFX #CaBrain activetravelstudies.org/article/id/1...

Until then, keep the bike bus and crossing guards going 🚲👟

Baby loves being included in reading and hasn’t met a book she doesn’t like!
Collected our giant stack of bike books at the library yesterday!
Sorry to anyone else trying to sign them out 😂 (we’ll bring them back in a few weeks to share the book love 📚)
It’s one of my favourite books to gift! I thought of one more for your list: halifax.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S1...

I love “If you give a girl a bike”, but the library doesn’t have it. I just suggested they add it to the collection!
