Documentary Premiere: The B.I.G. Cycle of Life, A Story of a Community Living Well and Dying Well

Bluewater International Granfondo (B.I.G.) takes place in Sarnia, Ontario along the shores of scenic Lake Huron and is voted #1 Granfondo in Ontario and #2 in Canada by Granfondo Guide

Documentary Premiere: The B.I.G. Cycle of Life, A Story of a Community Living Well and Dying Well

Each year, we come together as a community of 1,000 cyclists raising awareness for cycling. As a 100% volunteer-driven organization, we are proud to have supported our mission by creating a more active community while simultaneously raising $200,000 towards world-renowned education for Hospice Palliative Care providers in Lambton County.

We are excited to announce that the Bluewater International Granfondo has produced an inspiring documentary, showcasing the impact of support and partnerships from community members like you.

The B.I.G. Cycle of Life, A Story of a Community Living Well and Dying Well takes you behind the scenes of the Granfondo organization and introduces you to passionate leaders and frontline workers in Palliative Care as they dedicate themselves to providing critically-important, dignified care for our loved ones. Families share emotional stories of firsthand experience with Palliative Care and their “home away from home.” Viewers get immersed in the Granfondo’s journey that began as a passion project amongst a few like-minded cyclists and quickly became a passionate community event with over 200 volunteers.

We invite you to attend this premiere streaming event on Friday, April 9, 2021 at 7:30pm from the comfort of your own home. To add to this special event, the premiere also includes a short introductory video with a number of special guests. 

Virtual tickets are available at imperialtheatre.net in one of three options below.

We could never have imagined that the Granfondo would have such a significant impact for everyone involved – the organizing committee, volunteers, sponsors, cyclists, the community, health care providers, and palliative care patients and their families. The Documentary certainly is an inspiring success story for our community. We hope you will join us in this exciting celebration and achievement for our community.
