VOICES 6: Rob Carter, Guysborough's Lost Shores Gran Fondo VOICES: Stories of Change
-
- 社会／文化
Throughout Nova Scotia you’ll find – if you look – people like Rob Carver using the resources around them, their imagination and passion to bring communities together.
On a particularly gorgeous, sunny and warm spring day earlier this month I met Rob at his family home on a hill overlooking the ocean to hear about the Lost Shores Grand Fondo, a cycling event in the Italian Tradition. A Big Ride he dreamt up that attracted almost 300 cyclists to the area last fall.
With more than 100 volunteers, bbq’ed ribs, local beer, music, and the support of the municipality, Rob’s created a unique draw for Guysborough. One that promises to grow in it’s second year this fall.

The event will take place September 9th. Registration is now open.
