Subject: Join us this Saturday for a Ride Don’t Hide Celebration Event!

Time: 10:30 a.m.
Location: Heritage Pavilion, 300 Hunter Street East, Peterborough
The Canadian Mental Health Association Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (CMHA HKPR) invites media to attend a Ride Don’t Hide celebration event happening this Saturday, June 18th from 10:30 to 2:00 p.m. at Heritage Pavilion at 300 Hunter Street East, Peterborough.
As shared last week, unfortunately, due to the severe damage caused by the recent storm in Peterborough, the City of Peterborough has informed us that the Rotary Trail and Nicholls Oval will not be open for use. In light of this update, the event has been moved from Nicholls Oval to Heritage Pavilion at 300 Hunter Street East.
The closure of the Rotary Trail means that there will not be a physical cycling event and the organized 4k, 12k, and 26k rides are cancelled.
Instead, CMHA HKPR is hosting a celebration ceremony this Saturday from 10:30 to 2:00 p.m. to thank participants, sponsors, and donors. Participants are encouraged to complete their rides at their own leisure throughout the day.
At the event, participants can pick up their Ride Don’t Hide t-shirt and swag, enjoy a free BBQ, drop-off donations and pledges, and hear from event sponsors. Top fundraisers will also be presented with prizes. All who are registered for Ride Don’t Hide are invited to attend.
Proceeds from this year’s event will support CMHA HKPR’s new Mobile Mental Health and Addictions Clinic.
CMHA HKPR is still encouraging individuals to sign up for Ride Don’t Hide. To sign up, donate or learn more about CMHA HKPR’s Ride Don’t Hide event, visit ridedonthide.com/cmhahkpr.
CMHA HKPR would like to thank Presenting Sponsor Tom’s Heating and Cooling, Diamond Sponsors the 100.5 Fresh Radio, 101.5 The Wolf and Global Peterborough, and CIBC the Pyle Group. To learn more about our Silver and Event-Day Sponsors, please visit the website.
