Through the rain with flying colours 

The weather may not have been ideal for the 50 km Tour de l’Ile bicycle rally, but the Colors of Concordia team didn’t let us down. They cycled through the rain to raise $7,510 for their scholarship endowment.

Mona Senecal, the JMSB staff member who has made the multicultural fundraising effort such a success, reports that more than 350 rode proudly under Concordia’s banner on June 1. “This team is a very loyal group,” she added. Some members had participated every one of the five previous years, and 150 had ridden at least once before.

The Colors of Concordia is still accepting donations. To give, learn about the great work they’ve done and see more photos, please go to www.colorsofconcordia.ca.
