~~~ Please circulate ~~~

International Car Free Day (Sept. 22) is just around the corner, and we at
TRAX are all abuzz with anticipation as our communications materials
circulate around town. Have you seen them yet?

In Halifax we will honour the occasion with a newspaper tabloid, a movie
night, a public forum, a parade and a party.

Our goal is to consider, in a public and engaging way, the economic,
environmental and social impacts of car use in our city. We will also
explore attractive and plausible alternatives to our car-dependent culture,
such as mixed-use urban design, active transportation, public transport,
etc.

We'd like to invite you to participate in Car Free Day in a number of ways.

For details of Car Free Day check out

To download a poster go to http://www.trax.ns.ca/pdf/cfdposter.pdf

To read the Car Free Times newspaper tabloid visit
http://www.trax.ns.ca/pdf/cfd_Aug26.pdf

We have thousands of tabloids to distribute and almost as many color
posters, so if you'd like some to distribute to your colleagues please
contact us and we'll get you as many as you'll take!

The Mayor is proclaiming Car Free Day at Council meeting on Sept. 14, and
inviting residents of the HRM to not drive on Sept. 22.

We hope to see you at one or all of the Car Free Day events we're
organizing. And if you're organizing your own Car Free Day event, let us
know.

Should you have any questions or comments about our materials or events, do
not hesitate to contact us at 429-0924 or  trax@ecologyaction.ca .

Yours for a car-less future,
-angela and susanna
