Edmonton Motorcycle Toy Run
In 1984, the first annual Edmonton Motorcycle Toy Run in support of Santas Anonymous started at Westmount Centre and ended at Capilano Mall. An estimated 250 motorcyclists collected toys for underprivileged children in the Edmonton area.
The run became an annual event that always starts or ends at Capilano Mall.
Most years, 2,000 to 2,500 motorcycles participate.

“Kicking the heart
with pain’s big boots running up and down
the intestines like a motorcycle racer.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“As the creative adult needs to toy with ideas, the child, to form his ideas, needs toys—and plenty of leisure and scope to play with them as he likes, and not just the way adults think proper. This is why he must be given this freedom for his play to be successful and truly serve him well.”
—Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)
“Remember how often you have postponed minding your interest, and let slip those opportunities the gods have given you. It is now high time to consider what sort of world you are part of, and from what kind of governor of it you are descended; that you have a set period assigned you to act in, and unless you improve it to brighten and compose your thoughts, it will quickly run off with you, and be lost beyond recovery.”
—Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (121–180)
