Thanks to all who made Car Free Sunday possible in Comox Valley

Dear editor, Re: Car Free Sunday. Thank you to the little boy running up the middle of Fifth Street, jumping in every puddle and splashing his grandfather.

Dear editor,Re: Car Free Sunday.Thank you to the little boy running up the middle of Fifth Street, jumping in every puddle and splashing his grandfather.Thank you to the couples who danced in front of the live entertainment at Zen Zero. Thank you to the euchre players in the middle of Fourth Street in Cumberland.Thank you to all of the motorists who were patient and understanding, and especially to those who parked their cars and joined the fun! Thank you to all the volunteers who had to miss some of the fun, but kept the closed streets safe for everyone to enjoy.Thank you to our sponsors. Thank you to all the businesses in Courtenay and Cumberland who opened their doors on a Sunday afternoon.While Car Free Days happen all over the world, this was a first for the Comox Valley. It was also a first for our Imagine Comox Valley team.We learned quite a few important lessons, and we want to hear from you. Whether you chose to actively participate, or chose not to, we want future Car Free Days to minimize inconvenience and maximize fun.Please go to www.imgainecomoxvalley.ca and share your thoughts.
