Earlier this year, a group of young people, concerned about the apparent
indifference of the Canadian Government towards the issue of Climate Change,
Global Warming and the Kyoto Protocol, decided to challenge the Prime
Minister with "The Bet".
The group of 30 students cycled across Canada accompanied by a retrofitted
school bus fueled on vegetable oil, leaving B.C. on May 7 and ending their
journey in Halifax on Septermber 20. Almost 5 months of stopping in villages
and towns everywhere to meet with people and explain their mission. Highway7.com
has been following their progress through a series of emailed travel
logs. You will enjoy reading about some of the
adventures they have encountered. On Highway 7, the Caravan stopped
in:
Antigonish
- Sept 17
Necum Teuch
- Sept 18 While in Necum Teuch, the group was hosted by Highway7.com, Mrs.
Marie Martin, and the Bay of Islands Center. If you would like more
