About the Annual Dugald Christie Memorial Bike Ride

McGill Law students founded the Ride in 2009 to honour Vancouver Lawyer Dugald Christie. Christie was both an advocate for marginalised communities and an avid cycler. En 2006, Christie a commencé à parcourir le Canada à vélo pour sensibiliser le public et nos décideurs aux insuffisances des programmes d'aide juridique au Canada. Il fut tragiquement happé et tué par une voiture quatre mois après le début de sa campagne.

This year, funds raised through the event will go to the Mile End Legal Clinic, a network of local lawyers and law students dedicated to improving access to justice to the Montreal community. They provide legal information services and referrals to help financially disadvantaged individuals protect and assert their rights. For more information on the organization, please visit their website at http://www.justicemontreal.org/.

Participants are required to raise a minimum of $20 ($30 for those renting a bike from us). The Ride will cover 50km across Montreal. In addition to fundraising, the Ride is a great opportunity for members of the McGill law community to meet at the outset of the school year. Several professors participated last year and it was a great success – we hope you can join us again for this edition.
