This is Sara. She's a local nurse. On Tuesday her Trek bike was stolen as she was vaccinating people inside the Victoria Conference Centre. Plz keep your eyes out for it. It's how she gets to work. It's also #NationalNursesWeek and Sara shouldn't be worrying about her bike. #YYJ pic.twitter.com/IaNcCHTL6O
