Ajax and Pickering are two of 40 municipalities partnering with the Waterfront Regeneration Trust in the Great Waterfront Trail Adventure on July 6.

Cyclists will either ride the entire eight days and cover 680 kilometres along the coast of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River or participate in portions of the ride. It begins in Niagara-on-the-Lake and ends at the Quebec border. Ward 1 Pickering City Councillor Jennifer O'Connell is participating in a portion.

The West Shore Community Centre is offering massages for the cyclists and Millennium Square will be in full swing as they ride by, with a free barbecue for the community and children's entertainment by Jim Parker from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Millennium Square is located at the foot of Liverpool Road.

Ajax is hosting a lunch for the participants at Rotary Park (177 Lake Driveway W.). Residents have been invited to cheer on the cyclists. It's from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
