🚲 Critical Mass Ride — August 29 🚲+ Prep for September 19 “Draw The Line” Mass Ride
📅 Date: Friday, August 29
⏰ Time: 6-730pm
📍 Location: Starting at Confederation Park
✊ Why This Ride?
People have been asking! The Saturday morning Parkways for People Critical Mass rides of the past two years haven’t happened this season. Nor have the classic last-Friday-night Critical Mass rides.
So for August 29, we’re making sure one does happen.
👉 Were you one of the people asking? Be there!
👉 Want to take back the streets without permission? Be there!
👉 Never tried it before and curious what it’s like? Be there!
🌍 What’s Special This Month?
This ride will also prepare us for the Mass Bike Ride on Friday, September 19 — a lead-up action for the Draw The Line March on September 20 (part of a national and global weekend of action, Sept 19–21).
Together, we’ll:
🚴 Practice taking back the road
🪧 Share posters & flyers to spread the word
🤝 Build skills and momentum for September
🌱 Why We Ride
The September actions connect to struggles for justice across issues:
🌍 A renewable future
🌿 Upholding Indigenous sovereignty
✊ Fighting for migrant justice
🕊️ Peace & democracy
💪 Investing in people & public services

📌 Help organize feeder rides on September 19!
We’ll need volunteers to anchor rides from different parts of the city (including Gatineau). Groups, schools, campuses, or workplaces can also start their own feeder ride and join the main event downtown.
✨ Let’s roll! This is only as powerful as we make it together.
