Jul 30, 2026 - One Year Later: Legal Victory Ride

When: July 30th, 6pm
Where: Ramsden Park, 1010 Yonge St

On July 30, 2025, the Ontario Superior Court ruled in Cycle Toronto v. Ontario that the province's attempt to remove 19 km of protected bike lanes was reckless and arbitrary and violated Canadians' Charter rights under Section 7. Far from establishing a positive right to bike lanes, the court's decision affirmed that governments cannot take actions such as removing existing protected bike lanes that knowingly increase danger without breaching fundamental Charter protections.

Join us to celebrate this victory and stand up against this ongoing pattern of provincial interference and undermining of local democracy.

Our friends at No Jets TO and Toronto Tenant Union will be joining us in solidarity.
