Let's Celebrate the opening of Biidaasige Park

I am so excited for the new park opening in Toronto's Port Lands!

Biidaasige Park has playgrounds, picnic tables, BBQs, walking paths, and bike trails AND the city has promised it will be opening this weekend, whether they are ready or not!

To celebrate, bikeSauce will be hosting a Coffee Outside ride on Sunday, July 20 from the shop to the Port Lands to check out the new infrastructure.

Please RSVP so that those making a cold brew know how much to make!

Bring your favourite pastries or other coffee snacks, your beverage of choice (if you're not a coffee drinker).

We ROLL from High Park at 10 AM sharp.

I'll lead the way from High Park (with a pause at 10:20 am on Bloor at RCM) to bikeSauce on Broadview and then we will follow the bikeSauce group.

Everyone is meeting at 11 am at bikeSauce and once we're all ready to go, we'll ride at 11:30 am down Cherry St together to the park.

Biidaasige Park, pronounced “bee-daw-si-geh” and meaning “sunlight shining toward us” in Anishinaabemowin, is located near Cherry Street on the island of Ookwemin Minising, meaning “place of the black cherry trees.” The park celebrates waterway restoration and reconciliation.
