Join the Oteshites!

I (Kristi) did an Otesha bike tour a few years ago and it was an amazing first-bike-trip experience! Otesha tours involve performing eco-themed plays for youngsters and being part of an inspiring, 1 to 2 month bike tour. Now they are looking for folks to do this year's tours. I encourage you to check out the information below, as well as their website: www.Otesha.ca

The Otesha Project!

In just 7 weeks, volunteers will ride from school to school to deliver high-energy performances that inspire Canadians to make our daily lives more sustainable.  We’ve received over 60 applications so far, but there is still time to apply for one of four Performing and Cycling Tours this year. 

Bursary Opportunities

As you circulate this news among your coworkers and the communities that you work in, please note that we have recently launched The Andrew Wolf Memorial Bursary in order to waive 80% of tour costs for an applicant who belongs to a group under-represented in the environmental movement. The bursary is one step in our efforts to ensure that tour members are as diverse as the students and communities they encounter on the road. Please recommend the bursary to anyone you know who is passionate about making their community more ecologically sustainable.

More information about the 2011 touring season, an on-line application form and bursary information can be found at www.otesha.ca. If you have questions, I (Katrina the Outreach Coordinator) would love to hear from you at 613 237-6065.

Thanks so much,

See you on the road!
