Day 19 - About Gillian Alton

Oct 19th, 2024 - We are in the last week of the Tour de Elora. We are holding our closing ceremony on Friday November 1st at 5PM - you can watch the livestream on our Facebook and Instagram pages. We will be missing one key volunteer this year for our closing ceremonies, but I know he will be there in spirit. 

This is my uncle Robert. He designated himself Tour de Elora BBQ volunteer at the inaugural Tour de Elora in 2019 and has held that role ever since. He was generous, kind and full of life. He always had innovative ideas each year on how we could make the BBQ bigger and better the next year.

My uncle was tragically killed in an accident in 2022. He is greatly missed by everyone. This year's Tour de Elora closing ceremony is dedicated in his memory and I know that he will be watching with the same huge smile on his face this year! 

Please tune in to find out who will win the Tour de Elora cup this year! There is still lots of time to log your KMs, make a donation and buy raffle tickets to support the Grand River Regional Cancer Centre!
