Sun Youthâs 37th Annual Bike distribution took place June 19 at the Howie Morenz Arena on Querbes, during which 90 youngsters âwho stood out by their good deeds or who have shown extraordinary courage when facing exceptional circumstances,â were rewarded.
Eleven other youngsters were rewarded at an event in May.
The event was launched in 1984 thanks to the financial support of philanthropist Avi Morrow, who chose to remain anonymous during his lifetime and was known to the general community as Mr. Bike Man. Morrow passed away in 2019 â he would have turned 96 this past May. The distribution is continuing with the support of his family.
Health officials have been steadily picking up the slack in Montreal’s Parc-Extension neighbourhood where COVID-19 vaccination rates were found to be dismally low last month.
