Canada by Bike: Laurie in Ontario
Laurie Comtois left Montreal on June 30 to travel across Canada by bike in order to raise funds for the Alzheimer Society of Montreal. What was intended as a team project is now a solo expedition. Martin Dupuis, Laurie’s team mate, has unfortunately had to turn back once at Sudbury, Ontario. It is undoubtedly a great disappointment for Martin, he who has spent the last year preparing for this trip. We appreciate the time he spent working on this and his interest towards our cause. [
