Cyclists, walkers, and other neighbours gathered at the Wallace Ave. entrance to the soon-to-be-finished West Toronto Railpath. Mike Foderick and Netami Stuart of the Friends of the West Toronto Railpath welcomed everyone to the event. The "parade" was a celebration of the path's completion this year, and was part of the City of Toronto's "Bike Month" festivities.
