HCC Party Planning Committee

[Sleveless]

Hey Everyone!

Another year has gone by and the HCC is beginning to plan for it's second anniversary bash! This year, we are striking a partnership with Dalhousie's Office of Sustainability to secure a venue on campus. On top of this, we have been approached by the creators of a cycling documentary entitled Veer. Veer focuses on 5 residents of Portland OR, and how their lives are inextricably tied to the cycling social groups that they are a part of. This movie has had a lot of play time at other cities like Toronto, Vancouver and Victoria.

It's bound to be an INCREDIBLE movie!

We can't plan for this party without your help! Please drop me a line at stevebedard14@gmail.com if you would like to contribute to the HCC Party Planning Committee.

I hope to hear from you soon!

Another year has gone by and the HCC is one year older. Come out and celebrate with us! We will also be holding a Bike Trivia Round! So get a team of 10 ready for your chance to win some bowling and free blinkers!

Together with Dalhousie's Office of Sustainability, with MAJOR contributions from MEC, Bikes by Dave, Cyclesmith, Idealbikes, Bicycles Plus and other major supporters we will be showing the documentary film, Veer.

Veer explores America’s fast-growing bicycling culture by profiling five people whose lives are inextricably tied to bicycling and the bike-centric social groups they belong to. The film follows these characters over the course of a year, offering a behind-the-scenes look at their personal struggles and triumphs. Veer examines what it means to be part of a community, and how social movements are formed.

The trailer to Veer is available here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pu7ADd7s ... r_embedded
