Pemberton's Slow Food Cycle to celebrate 20th anniversary on Aug.17
One of Pemberton's signature summer events is set to return for its 20th year. The Slow Food Cycle will roll through Pemberton Meadows on Sunday, Aug. 17, inviting cyclists to join in on a 40-kilometre round-trip while stopping at farms and small businesses along the way to purchase local produce, crafts and prepared food. 'There's nothing else quite like it,' said Andy Meeker, president of Tourism Pemberton in a release. 'It's a unique day where you can meet the people who grow your food, taste the flavours of the valley and enjoy the open road with your friends and family. We're thrilled to celebrate 20 years of this incredible community tradition.' The event, originally founded in 2005 by local farmers Anna Helmer and Lisa Richardson, has grown over two decades. Slow Food Cycle now regularly draws thousands of participants—an estimated 75 per cent of whom travel in from outside the region. 'It's heartening to see people still so eager to enjoy the simple joy of biking through farmland,' Helmer said in the release. 'We always knew it was a winning combination.' The event runs annually on the third Sunday in August and follows a single route north along Pemberton Meadows Road to the foot of the Hurley Forest Service Road. Cyclists are invited to stop at farms and vendors along the way—many of which offer fresh produce, handmade goods, prepared meals and live music. The road will be closed to most motor vehicle traffic. The event is not a race. Tourism Pemberton executive director Christine Raymond previously described it as 'a leisurely exploration.' She said its success has inspired similar events in B.C. and abroad. 'When it started, founding farmers [Helmer and Richardson] wanted people to know where their food was coming from and to have conversations with farmers,' Raymond said in a June interview. 'They just created this little event that sparked up and became a signature event.' While often celebrated for its community atmosphere, the event also plays a role in tourism and farmland advocacy. Organizers say it helps promote the value of preserving agricultural land in the Pemberton Valley and encourages farm-direct sales. The event was voted 'Pemberton's Favourite' in 2023, despite being cancelled due to wildfire smoke and access concerns. Tickets are now available at a 50-per-cent discount through . The early-bird rate applies to tickets purchased before Aug. 16. Updates are available via the event's Instagram page, @slowfoodcyclesunday. Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request.

Despite hiccups, airlines are performing pretty well this summer
When your own flight is delayed or canceled, it can feel like the entire aviation network is in a conspiracy against you. As summer travel peaks and crowded airports coincide with unsettled weather, many travelers feel like the system is in a constant state of melting down. Although it's cold comfort in this hot weather, so far this summer, airlines are actually performing pretty well. According to FlightAware, there have been more than 1.8 million flights scheduled in the U.S. since the Friday before Memorial Day – May 23 this year – and of those, just 30,390, or 1.6%, have been outright canceled. Meanwhile, around a quarter of the flights that did operate have been delayed, at an average of about 60 minutes. Summer storms cause travel headaches every year, but these numbers are not unusual. In the same period last year, airlines canceled about 1.9% of flights, and 26% of flights were delayed, slightly more than this year. Delays still averaged about 60 minutes last summer. The numbers were similar in 2023, and slightly higher in 2022, when the aviation industry was still more directly recovering from the fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic. What you're entitled to if your flight is delayed or canceled If you're one of those unlucky few whose flight is canceled or delayed this summer, it's helpful to know your rights. When airlines cancel your flight for any reason, including weather, you're entitled to a full refund, even if you purchased a nonrefundable ticket, if you choose not to travel on an alternative itinerary offered by the carrier. If your flight is delayed, the regulations are alittle more complicated, because the cause of the delay plays a big part in determining what you're entitled to. Generally, airlines don't have to compensate you if the delay is out of their control, caused by weather or air traffic control issues, but they are on the hook for more if the delay is caused by mechanical, staffing or other issues that are more directly in the company's charge. The Department of Transportation has a dashboard outlining its regulations and each airline's policies.
