“Put down the weapons. Pick up the Bible.” That strong yet simple
message was just one of many large, white message-bearing banners carried with purpose early Saturday night during the Toronto West Seventh-Day Adventist Church’s annual Anti-
Drug, Anti-Violence March. Dozens of Toronto West Seventh-Day Adventist Church congregation and community members belted out the song, What a Mighty God We Serve,
and swayed over mics standing on a long flatbed truck. The church’s Pathfinders’ youth marching band and Adventurers’ small children >>> ETOBICOKE, page 16
Two weeks after a Humber Bay Shores’ resident photographed a serious cyclist collision on the waterfront trail that sent one rider to hospital, the city has confirmed enacting safety measures is feasible. Robin Clay, who photographed the collision on July 27 from his 25th storey Palace Place window, reported collisions are commonplace on the trail. “Many times there are collisions or near misses,” said Clay, who has lived there for 11 years. “There is a need for dedicated paths for bikes and pedestrians. Hopefully, this acts as a catalyst.” Like Clay, many residents expressed safety concerns to The Guardian last week, and shared personal stories of collisions or near misses. That Etobicoke section of the Martin Goodman Trail west into Mimico is a shared path among pedestrians, cyclists, online skaters, dog walkers, parents pushing strollers, and children on foot and bicycles. >>>RUMBLE, page 14
