In the summer of 2008, two amateur cyclists set out on an odyssey which would take them ‘From the Rockies to the Rock' in an effort to heighten awareness of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Creg Mailloux and Vin Heney, along with associate producer John Scott and filmmaker Andy Peterson, filmed their epic journey, which spanned 8,000 km. from Victoria, BC to St. John’s, Nfld. The resulting documentary, Rubber Side Down, will be shown at the Lebovic Centre for Arts and Entertainment- Nineteen on the Park on Oct. 28 at 7 pm. The screening is presented by the Markham- Stouffville Chapter of the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada (CCFC) and Greg and Vin will be special guests at the event. The feature-length documentary was screened at Toronto's COMMFFEST in September and was also shown recently in California. Tickets for the October screening are $5 and are available from the Free Press More than 200 ghosties and goblins were seen flitting around the Lebovic Centre at last year's Haunted House, hosted by the Mayor's Youth Council.
