The Clean Train Coalition is inviting everyone to join the Human Train for Clean Air event on Saturday, September 26th!
The goal of this event is to 'humanize' the corridor and prove to Metrolinx and the politicians that people do live here, that it is not 'industrial' as they have claimed. Our neighbourhoods should not be the receptacle for an 8-fold increase in diesel fumes nor should our lives and properties be put in jeopardy by our Provincial government so that a private firm can make a profit. Our hope is to have thousands of people joining the train as we walk down the length of the corridor and through all our wonderful communities!Our first 'Whistle Stop' is in the heart of Weston, meeting at the GO station platform at 8:30 to kick off the event. Our goal is to walk the corridor meeting up with others at other various Whistle Stops along the way and having a massive rally at Sorauren Park. After this part of the event, the Human Train will continue down the corridor to Queen West where they will be met by artists and residents, continuing along Queen Street to the Liberty Village area. It will be a wonderful day of community spirit and proof of the vibrancy of our neighbourhoods and what we are trying to protect from the 8-fold increase in diesel train traffic. Please wear blue to signify your participation if possible. Placards are welcome!
If you could please send out to your various connections both in the residential and business communities whether they are in the Corridor or beyond, we'd very much appreciate it! If you are interested in volunteering or have suggestions, please contact me at this email address. I am attaching the colour poster and a fact sheet -- wherever you can post them would be wonderful. For more information, please visit our website: www.cleantrain.ca.
See you at the first Whistle Stop! Woo-woo!
