Alternative Transport

By Andrew


Most of us don’t have the benefit to live within an acceptable walking distance from our place of employment.  This being the case, we are generally left with the options of driving or taking public transportation.  I’m not saying that these are bad options, but they certainly aren’t the best if you’re interested in reducing your environmental impact or improving your fitness and mental wellbeing.  The main alternative option that is probably flashing in your mind is riding a bike, something that I have recently begun to do for my commute to work now that the weather is getting warmer.  As I transitioned to biking, I noticed something wonderful.

4. You're learning a life skill

The Antiques Market is held every Sunday from 5am to 5pm in the North Market (directly across the street from the regular St. Lawrence Market). Just like any antique shop, there is a lot of over-priced junk you couldn’t pay someone to buy. However, if you’re willing to take a leisurely stroll over Sunday coffee with a friend you’re bound to stumble upon plenty of steals.
