We are absolutely thrilled to invite you to be part of the 5th Annual Ride the River – our community’s premier cycling fundraiser – taking place Sunday, June 8, 2025, along the stunning 1000 Islands Parkway.
This incredible event was created in memory of Dr. Smylie, honouring his legacy and long-standing contributions to healthcare at Brockville General Hospital. Every year, Ride the River brings together riders, supporters, and local champions to make a lasting impact on patient care.
Why This Year is So Important
For 2025, every dollar raised will go directly toward supporting BOTTOMS UP! Campaign to moderne colorectal care equipment at Brockville General Hospital. With your support, we can upgrade essential equipment, improve facilities, and ensure that every patient receives the best possible care – right here, close to home.
A Celebration of Community & Impact
On June 8, cyclists of all skill levels will ride together along the Parkway, enjoying one of the most scenic routes in our region. The journey will finish at Brown’s Bay, where participants and supporters will gather for a well-earned celebration – featuring great food, refreshing drinks, and exciting prizes.
