3 Rivers Roll is back in Wallaceburg tomorrow night!

3Rivers Roll is an hour long (13 km) bicycle route through Wallaceburg with a slow, relaxed pace. It’s not a race, it’s a slow roll through various neighbourhoods of the ‘burg. All bicycles, all ages, all abilities are welcome – bring your own music, decorate your bike and join in the fun! This year, each roll will have a theme. The theme for our June event is health and wellness.

We’re kicking off the summer with a health and wellness themed roll starting at the Wallaceburg Legion.

Do some stretches with a gymnastics coach, yoga with a yoga instructor and enjoy some healthy foods before the bike. Stick around afterwards for some good music and great company!

The next 3 Rivers Roll ride is July 17th and August 15th. Visit 3RiversRoll.com for more info.

As of today, Canadians do not need a visa to visit Brazil.

Travelers with a valid passport will be able to explore Brazil for up to 90 days.

United States, Japan and Australia citizens are also able to travel visa free. The announcement was made back in March, and since then flights booked to Brazil have increased over 30%.

Brazil has implemented a series of changes over the past few years aimed at increasing the number of tourists visiting the country. During the 2016 Summer Olympics hosted in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil temporarily scrapped its requirement for travelers from the four countries now exempt from the requirement altogether to bolster tourism around the event.
