If you missed this gem of an interview, here it is. The Now asks us some questions on bike style, our jobs, how we work in community, the start of DNS, and how we support each other.
MegO! here. I've been a bit absent as of late on the blog, mainly because I have been working hard on my new sweet job at Evergreen Canada, coordinating Ride the Ravines! Now if you don't know... now you know! I'm LOVING my new job in the beautiful Toronto Don Valley, so check it out and show some love! :) Evergreen
is a national
environmental organization that connects people with nature for the
benefit of both. For the past 20 years, Evergreen has been engaging
Canadians in greening projects in communities across
the country. In Toronto, Evergreen has transformed the historic Don Valley Brick Works factory
from a deteriorating collection of buildings into a thriving and truly
unique environmental community centre in the heart of the Toronto ravine
system.
Ride the Ravines
is a family-friendly charity bike ride on June 16th, where riders can experience
Toronto’s hidden valley system like never
before! The ride gives families, urban recreational riders and nature
enthusiasts a chance to pedal 12km or 25km through the Don Valley ravine
system and Toronto beaches. The route begins and ends at Evergreen
Brick Works and is led by Evergreen staff and volunteers.
The funds raised from Ride the Ravines goes towards our Active Living Programming and like our Community
Bike Hubs.
This is our incredibly special program that works in various low-income
communities across Toronto, getting kids learning and riding bikes,
while providing a healthy food program and
mentorship, along with entrepreneurial and activist skills.
Remember how the Deadly Nightshades were interviewed by NOW magazine? Well, the awesome Now online editor John then interviewed my supervisor, Shah. Check it out! You'll feel great, I promise.
In 2006, while I was waitressing in the summers between university semesters, Daniel Lanois was a regular of mine at a fine French Toronto establishment. We had many famous and rich clientele, so talking about work with a guest was considered tres gauche. Someone had erroneously told me that he was a store owner, and I simply didn't think twice to question it. When I once asked him about his sheet music he was working on, he said he had a studio at his house and he was recording an album with his friends. I replied that I thought his hobby was adorable, and he looked at me with a puzzled raised eyebrow. The song he was recording was apparently with U2. Be careful of who tells you what and what you think you know....
