The @envirocentre.bsky.social Tunes and Tracks programmed with the Ottawa Music Industry Coalition continues today until 2 o’clock at South Keys station. Beautiful.

Beautiful music during this special busking performance today at South Keys Station, organised by @envirocentre.bsky.social. Music provides a calm, pleasant atmosphere and ambiance to the transit experience. I hope busking becomes a permanent reality in Ottawa O-Train network. @octranspo.com

Thanks Ottawa Music Industry Coaliton and @envirocentre.bsky.social for doing these! Next one is Sunday from 11-2 at South Keys / Merci à la Coalition de l'industrie musicale d'Ottawa et à @envirocentre.bsky.social pour ces événements ! Le prochain aura lieu dimanche de 11 h à 14 h à South Keys.

Very cool to see a @ridecargob.bsky.social on the streets of Montreal for the NABSA Conference. We heard about that system plus the Evolve cargo bike pilot in BC and BIXI trailer in Montreal. And the panel is moderated by an @envirocentre.bsky.social colleague.

The future of bikeshare is here 💗
