For those not on Spond, there's an announcement there about an orange jersey designed by Tripleshot member, Carey Newman. There's also info about the Tripleshot Ride2Remember on September 30 (National Day of Truth and Reconciliation).

If you can't access Spond, you can get a rough sense of the art: it's based on the heart design here: https://www.google.com/search?q=orange+ ... DRYqay18xM

While it will be possible to order the jersey for the next few weeks, Tripleshot is being let in on a pre-order opportunity (since Carey's the artist). So if you want to be able to wear your new orange jersey on Sept 30, you'll need to order today (before 4:30). See the Google Doc link below to place your order.

More info here:

SAVE THE DATE for a Ride2Remember event - September 30!
The Tripleshot Executive invites club members to come together for a Ride of Intention, Reflection and Learning, acknowledging Truth and Reconciliation on the newly appointed statutory holiday on September 30.

- There will be a variety of ride distances posted on Spond, including a supported 215 km option acknowledging the initial confirmation in May from Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation of the discovery of 215 unmarked graves at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School.
- Included in the ride map will be points of local significance in acknowledgement and respect for the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples on whose traditional territory we cycle, specifically the Songhees, Esquimalt and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples.

BONUS - Advance order on a "Heart and Hands 215+" orange cycling jersey designed by TS member and Indigenous artist Carey Newman. Please get your orders in ASAP through the following link to ensure you have it for the September 30 ride.

Stay tuned as details are confirmed

Artist Statement: On Thursday, May 27th, I unveiled a hands on hearts on totem project at my daughter’s school, Oaklands Elementary. The hope and inspiration of that morning, working with children, made for a stark contrast to the despair that came when later that day when the Tk’emlúps te Secwe̓pemc announced that they had located 215 unmarked graves at the Kamloops residential school. Although it took me a few days to process the grief and weight of that moment, something that became very clear was that the graves of these Indigenous children were forcing Canadians to reckon with the humble exceptionalism that has anchored this country’s collective identity for too long. That is when I began to work on creating a new design using hearts and hands along with the number 215+. Together they represent both heartache and hope, and in further acknowledging the truth of Canada’s foundations, another step along the journey towards reconciliation.

Update: Pre-orders have been sent in already. So probably best to wait until the regular order, which should open within a few days.
