On the morning of March 10th engineering students from Ryerson University hosted their annual “Bug Push.”
The event involves students, faculty and in this case a local celebrity pushing a vintage Volkswagen Beetle around the downtown campus located at Yonge and Gerrard.
Each year the school chooses a charity to raise money for. This year it was the Canadian Cancer Society. The fundraising plan is simple, any amount of money is accepted as a donation which then allows you to push the Beetle or have a designated member of the engineering team push for you. Snacks, refreshments and music are included in the experience as the push goes for 24 hours.
