A woman has launched a petition after she says she was nearly knocked over by groups of runners on Toronto sidewalks twice in the last year.

“When a group of 50 people is running at you on the sidewalk, there’s nowhere to go,” Zulf, the Toronto resident who launchedZulf, who asked that her surname be omitted, said the first encounter took place over the summer while walking with her sister.

It was the second incident, months later, that she said prompted her to launch the petition. During that encounter, which took place in late December, she said she passed a smaller group of five or six runners, one of which hit her “hard on the shoulder.”Since sharing the petition, alongside a TikTok on the topic that has since amassed nearly three million views, Zulf said she's received "so many" messages from other Torontonians with similar stories.

Corrales himself leads a club with an estimated 40 to 50 runners, all of whom he said do their best to share the sidewalk safely and practice considerate etiquette. Prince Albert RCMP seized more than 60 guns and 10,000 rounds of ammunition from a home in the Veillardville area Wednesday.Canadians don't usually worry about mosquitoes, ticks or other insects in early March. Yet the abnormally mild winter in the country could see some pests bug people earlier than usual in Canada, some entomologists say.
