*Going from strength to strength at the farmer's market-- did 105 ppl last wk, 560 in 8wks. Revenue is decent, funding volunteer lunches. Word is getting around. Still only Saturday. One volunteer came in from Paths for People. As we grow we're experimenting with ways to commandeer more space. Intending to continue through Fringe. Chatted with Donna at folk fest and they respect us and have an open mind for proposals for next yr. September 19th is international parking day (as per the Parking Reform Network)- you find under-utilised parking and invite ppl to imagine it being used differently. Wikwentowin community league is down to plan something-- working to get buy-in from City and businesses around 102 ave and 121 st to do an event at that corner. | *Going from strength to strength at the farmer's market-- did 105 ppl last wk, 560 in 8wks.

They're very accommodating funders, they just want to see us directionally increasing our used bike sales. Colin would love to see us double our used bike sales. The marginal bike can become less profitable because we start fixing up lower-quality bikes-- which is consistent with our mission and the goals of the grant. Ideally we end making some structural changes that make that increased capacity permanent even after the great, or maybe it can't be sustained without the subsidy-- either way is ok. | ||
