WINNIPEG WINS COMMUTER CHALLENGE

Winnipeg, Manitoba has won the 2007 Commuter challenge. There were 21 communities in Manitoba that participated totally close to 5,000 participants. Provincial government employees also upped their numbers from last year and got moving.
Now let's see if we can keep up the good word. This challenge should not end with the end of the competition but it is hoped that people will do whatever they can to leave fewer carbon footprints on our home, this planet. The challenge is actually to raise awareness of the importance of creating a safe, convenient, friendly and healthy environment that makes alternative forms of transportation an option for everyone.
Congratulations fellow Manitobans, we have done it again. We are just fabulous and we care about our environment. As for me I continue to walk and ride and use my car less.
