Liam Wacey adds homecoming leg to cross-Canada bike tour

After seven weeks biking across Canada to raise awareness of Sierra Club Canada's wilderness and biodiversity campaigns, Liam Wacey has added one final leg to his "Cycles of Change" tour. After completing the easternmost leg of the tour in Halifax, Liam plans to add a final ride from Vancouver to his hometown of Vernon, BC.

"I hope bringing this tour to my hometown will help create a buzz that spreads the word about Sierra Club Canada's activities," said Mr. Wacey. "It's been a gruelling journey, but also a success since I've been able to highlight the concerns of the environment."

Liam will leave Vancouver on July 17. He plans to travel via the Hope-Princeton Highway, stopping in Penticton on July 19 and arriving in Vernon on July 20.

He will be available to arrange interviews throughout the trip.
