2. Welcome BikingToronto, St. Clair West BUG and the Running Room – New groups join TCAT’s growing list of Supporters
It helps to be able to say how many individuals and groups support the
work we do when we speak with City Councillors, City staff, and the media,
or put out a publication. As part of our effort to grow the collective
voice of TCAT, three new groups have joined our list of supporters. They
are:
· BikingToronto (www.bikingtoronto.com)
· St. Clair West BUG
· The Running Room (www.runningroom.com)
The TCAT Steering Committee welcomes these groups to TCAT.
