TISC Skaters Come Out In Big Numbers To Support Canada Day Marathon
July 2, 2009TISC’s skaters came out in full force to support the Canada Day Marathon in Cambridge. The yearly event, which takes place on July 1st, is organized by Jim Mallard and well supported by TISC with participants, logistics, and volunteers.
The Toronto Inline Skating Club’s orange, blue, and black coulours were zooming on Cambridge’s roads, with skaters on their way to personal-best times as well as podium finishes.
The ever important post-race BBQ was well-received by the participants.
What better way to celebrate Canada’s 142nd birthday by participating in an inline skating event and sharing food and good times with friends.

Help Protect Montreal’s Gilles Villeneuve Track
June 11, 2009We, the undersigned, oppose the new devices installed on the Gilles-Villeneuve circuit to restrict the speed of cyclists. The Gilles-Villeneuve circuit is the only place in Montreal where competitive cyclists can train. This decision hinders the development of local athletes in cycling and in triathlon. Furthermore, this decision jeopardises the safety of road users and of these athletes because it forces them to relocate their training to busier roads or bike paths that are used by leisure cyclists.
