Liam Wacey’s “Cycles of Change” tour hits Parliament Hill

Throughout the spring and summer, Vernon BC’s Liam Wacey is biking across Canada to raise awareness about Sierra Club Canada’s conservation campaigns and the ecological threats to Canada’s wilderness and biodiversity.

“The more I looked into the state of the environment, the more difficult I found it to just turn my head and pretend nothing was wrong,” said Mr. Wacey. “On the other hand, the deeper I looked, the more impressed I was at the concerted efforts of dozens of environmental advocacy groups, most notably Sierra Club Canada.”

After leaving his hometown on May 24, Liam has crossed the mighty Rockies, the Great Plains, and Northern Ontario. He will be arriving at Parliament Hill at noon on Friday July 2.

Liam has been keeping the country updated on his travels by blogging on Sierra Club Canada’s website. He is also posting regularly to his personal Facebook page.

Although Liam’s plan depends in part on the weather and other snags he might meet along the way, he plans to be in Halifax by July 15.
