In Toronto, we’ll be hosting the largest Ice Ride in the country! As the ice at the top of the world is melting to record lows, oil companies see this melting not as a warning but as a business opportunity. Oil spills will be impossible to clean up in the Arctic’s harsh, fragile environment and so we’re asking for individuals to join us on their bikes, wear white and blue, dress up in Arctic animal themed costumes and help us send a positive message. <br>For more info visit: <a href="http://www.greenpeace.org/canada/iceride">www.greenpeace.org/canada/iceride</a><br><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------<br>---------------------------------------<br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="5" color="#ab00c0"><b>Ride4RealFood</b></font><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Sunday, September 15</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Funds raised support better access to fresh, healthy and local food for low-income people living in Toronto. It all happens through the Co-op Cred Program, a partner project of the West End Food Co-op and PARC. There are three cycling routes: a 30 km, a 65 km and a 115 km ride. Like last year, all cycling routes end at the historic McVean Farm for the fabulous McVean Farm Harvest Festival - a culinary celebration of fresh and bbq'd foods (both locally raised and locally grown.) This means that after you bike to the farm you will be treated to an afternoon of locally sourced food, music and kid-friendly fun.</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">To Ride4RealFood and improve food security in Toronto, email: <a href="mailto:ggans@parc.on.ca">ggans@parc.on.ca</a> </span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><a href="http://westendfood.coop/content/ride4realfood-2013">http://westendfood.coop/content/ride4realfood-2013</a></span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><a href="https://www.giveffect.org/charities/84-parkdale-activity-recreation-centre">https://www.giveffect.org/charities/84-parkdale-activity-recreation-centre</a></span><br><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------</span><br><br></font></div><div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'" size="5" color="#0872c2"><b>Build An Outdoor Worm Bin Using Reclaimed Materials Workshop</b></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Sun.
