In Toronto,
SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 22nd
come out and show how much fun
carfreedom can be! Host a PARKING METER PARTY (*see below) along Queen
Street West from 1pm, then join the CARFREE PARADE at 6:00 (5:00 assembly
at Trinity Bellwoods, heading east)
BRING YOUR: family, bike gang, best friend, band, costumes, banners,
instruments, human powered floats, badminton rackets, dance party, clown
troupe, cardboard, crayons, imagination, sense of humour, whatever you do
best!
DON'T BRING: a car!
HOW TO HOST A PARKING METER PARTY:
JUST IMAGINE: WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH A 6 X 12 FOOT PARKING SPACE?
- Scout out a parking spot where you'd like to spend the afternoon
- Park your non-motorized "vehicle" (i.e. your bike, trike,
roller-skates, dinky-car) along Queen West
- Pay the meter. For $1.50/hr the spot is yours! (be sure to display
your parking receipt on the "dash" of your "vehicle"!)
- Have fun showing Toronto how much fun carfreedom will be! dance! paint!
play a game! read a book! make music! make people smile!
It's fun! It's legal!
Bring your fellow revolutionaries!
The revolution will not be motorized!
