Cannings 'riding the riding'

South Okanagan-West Kootenay MP Richard Cannings is hitting the ol’ dusty trail again, crossing the riding for the third year on a bicycle.

“Ride the Riding” will bring Cannings across the region on various rail trails and highways, with stops for meetings with constituents along the way.

Trails like the KVR are important tourist attractions and key economic drivers for small communities throughout the riding.

“I enjoy riding these rail trails myself, and one of the reasons for this cycle trip is to highlight their importance to the riding,” Cannings said.

Residents are invited along for the journey, or at one of the many coffee and meal breaks where they can share their concerns and suggestions. The ride starts Aug. 28 in Naramata, with stops in Penticton, OK Falls and Oliver the same day. The ride will continue until it ends in the Kootenays on Sept. 2. A full itinerary can be found below. 

“This ride has been such a success and I’m really looking forward to hitting the trails again. Everyone is invited to join in on the ride and I look forward to hearing what everyone has to say”.
