This week's events is a skeleton because I've been away cycling in Quebec. The province has built over 5000 kms of car-free bike trails connecting villages and towns across the province. It's the best cycling on the continent. We cycled the exquisite P'tit Train du Nord, an abandoned railway line in the Laurentians north of Montreal, accessible by public transit. Highly recommended. <a href="http://www.routeverte.com/rv/home">http://www.routeverte.com/rv/home</a> <a href="http://gobiking.ca/p-tit-train/">http://gobiking.ca/p-tit-train/</a> </span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">-a<br><br>---------------------------------------<br></span></font><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><br><font class="Apple-style-span" size="5" color="#cb2b24"><b>Quietly Into Disaster - Free film screening and discussion with guest speaker Angela Bischoff<br></b></font><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Tuesday, August 12, 7 p.m.</span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Swansea Town Hall, 2nd Floor Council Chamber, 91 Lavinia Ave. (near High Park)</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Quietly Into Disaster: This documentary deals with facts and topics concerning nuclear power: damages done to health and environment, nuclear waste and politics, renewable energies, reactor safety, the serious implications of a nuclear accident and public resistance.

It tells the story of two UAVs (drones) developed with one purpose in mind: “Protect the Oil.” But the drones in this musical are young; like most teenagers, they defy the human parents who create them, to design their own future. Young Drones reminds us that it’s never too late to rewrite your program, and aim to be better than the myths of your species. Young Drones was originally conceived for the 2013 Music Series and has been invited back as SummerWorks 2014 Artists-in-Residence to further develop the show for a four night engagement and album release.<br><a href="http://summerworks.ca/2014/portfolio/bicyclesmaggie-macdonald-young-drones/">http://summerworks.ca/2014/portfolio/bicyclesmaggie-macdonald-young-drones/</a><br></span></font></div><div><div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br>---------------------------------------<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="#00bf3c"><b>Peace Leadership Summer Camp for Young Women<br></b></font><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Sat. and Sun.
