🧡 Some thoughts on Truth and Reconciliation 🧡
For those wanting to have a thoughtful and deliberate July 1st in solidarity with Indigenous people, our Strathearn neighbour Stephanie Harpe has some suggestions (thank you so much for sharing, Stephanie!)
- Wear orange
- Have a moment of silence at 2:15pm
- At your dinner table, show gratitude for the safety of your family and loved ones. Consider the thousands of families devastated by forced relocation, broken treaties and residential schools, and ongoing systemic issues that continue to cause oppression and trauma.
- Please elevate Love and Truth.
Stephanie Harpe is an International Advocate for Murdered or Missing and Exploited Indigenous People's of Canada (MMEI), Residential School Survivor and a proud Indigenous Person who teaches a global audience through her work with the United Nations. She recently appeared on CBC Radioactive to discuss allyship: https://www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-52-radio-active/clip/15850873-allyship-indigenous-people

The Bike Month Community League Challenge starts now!
Greetings Strathearn Spoke Spinners!
June is Bike Month in Edmonton, and we are here to answer the challenge from other Community Leagues in Edmonton to log the most kilometers! This year the distances will be adjusted for community population. To record our community bike distances you can join our Strathearn Community Club on Strava
You can also log your km’s by filling in a spreadsheet if joining Strava is not for you!
FREE Bike Tune Ups
On Sunday June 20, from 1-4 pm at the Strathearn Community League grounds (outdoor) we are pleased to host a FREE Bike Edmonton minor tune ups session.
Two of Bike Edmonton's volunteer mechanics will safety check and inspect your bike, and perform any needed adjustments on a first-come, first-served basis. They'll adjust the headset, wheels, brakes, shifters, saddle, and do their best to solve your bike's mechanical issues. They carry a limited selection of parts like tubes and cables, but if they don't have the parts your bike needs, volunteers will let you know where you can find bike repair services in Edmonton. This event will be in compliance with Covid regulations regarding gathering size, and masking is mandatory.
Thank you to TD’s Park People and Bike Edmonton for making this event possible!
