Arvid is on his way to Kildonan Park, heading straight down St Mary’s and Main – meet us there if you’re around and grab a book!

Just finished a great press conference at City Hall, and Arvid posed with the grandson and Councillor Lukes (St. Norbert). Getting ready to head off!!   

Next week on Thursday (the 18th), starting with a press conference at 11:30am and rolling out from City Hall at Noon, Arvid will navigate Winnipeg’s city streets in Winnipeg’s Longest Bicycle Commute. He will stay inside the city and spend…
