Kathie:

I think there could be some flexibility on the grand opening of the Sault
Community Bicycle Workshop.  Following your advice, we have not committed
ourselves to Earth Day but to Earth Day week.

Andre has some ideas for events that could take place at the 60 Pim Street
location.  These will involve discovery tours in the city, bicycle skills and
equipment evaluation, open house tours, displays of proposed/existing bike
routes, videos e.g. Steve Bauer, repairing and maintaining your bike, history
of bicycles.

Whatever works best for Clean North and the Sault Cycling Club should determine
the date of the grand opening.
