Working to save the Tim Dasilva BMX Track

Tim DaSilva died in a tragic accident while building his dream; a place for children, youth and their families to enjoy exercise, companionship and the spirit of competition. His family has taken solace in the fact that his dream had become a reality and a unique amateur sports facility that anyone from across the GTA and beyond could enjoy. Unfortunately the proper permit hadn’t been procured before he began building on the private land. Now the Niagara Escarpment Commission (NEC) is forcing the family to flatten their son’s dream or the owner of the private land will face stiff penalties.

Bill spoke with Jessica DaSilva-Medeiro, Tim's sister, and Nicky Pearson, BMX Coordinator for the Ontario Cycling Association to get more details.
