SO WHAT IS A CAR FREE SUNDAY BURLINGTON EVENT?
During a car free event, roads are closed to vehicular traffic and opened to pedestrians – whether strolling, wheeling, walking, cycling, or roller-blading. In addition to having access to the roadways, independent organizations and community groups make the route come alive with a variety of activities.
These events promote alternative means of transportation, create vibrant neighbourhoods with friendly neighbours, and healthy, active lifestyles.
2013 CAR FREE SUNDAYS
Burlington community partners will be hosting two Car Free Sunday events in 2013. The City of Burlington will be a proud sponsor of both events. The events will take place on June 9 and June 23.

A Ward 4 and 5 volunteer community group has been working closely with Ward 4 Councillor Jack Dennison and Ward 5 Councillor Paul Sharman on this year’s southeast Car Free Sunday Street Festival.

BURLINGTON AND CAR FREE SUNDAY
Burlington is making a difference in our community, in the nation, and in the world, so naturally who wouldn’t be excited about its Car Free Sundays program? The City of Burlington is working with the community to promote safe, active and healthy lifestyles. Car Free Sundays are part of that.
We love to see people living, playing and thriving. Car Free Sundays Burlington has brought families and neighbourhoods together by making the streets come alive with activity. These events also promote physical activity for people of all ages and abilities by influencing them to Get Up, Get Out and Get Moving.
It is about getting out together to make a difference in the environment.
