The ALS Canada Revolution Ride is a volunteer-powered fundraising event that unites recreational, intermediate, and avid cyclists who want to challenge themselves to do more in support of those we have loved and lost or who are facing ALS today.

This premier cycling event takes place on Sunday, October 4, in Jordan, Ontario, in the beautiful Niagara wine region. The roads surrounding the area offer a landscape that takes riders along a route steeped in excitement and beauty, leaving participants with a sense of accomplishment and the reward of seeing their fundraising efforts go towards helping families affected by ALS. There are three scenic routes to choose from, including 25 km, 40 km and 90 km options. Choose the distance that suits your level!

Not only will the kilometres logged be worthwhile, but the start and finish lines are located in the heart of Ontario wine country at the stunning Sue-Ann Staff Estate Winery. The day promises to be a memorable one.

The community is invited to celebrate the life and work of local artist Gordon Rose while supporting the Grimsby Public Art Gallery through the Gordon Rose Memorial Art Auction.

The collection includes works in watercolour, pastel, acrylic, scratchboard and photography, with many pieces inspired by Gordon’s love of nature, animals and the world around him.

 A longtime Grimsby resident, community volunteer and former President of the Grimsby Lakeside Pump House Artists, Gordon left a lasting legacy through both his community service and his art.
