St Cecilia Bike Re-Cycle and Exchange

St Cecilia Bike Re-Cycle and Exchange Event Location: Ecole St. Cecilia School -610 Agate Crescent S.E When: Saturday, April 20, 2013 to Monday, April 22, 2013 at 10:am-1:00pm Contact: Harry Email: bikeXchange@shaw.ca WebSite: http://members.shaw.ca/bikeXchange/  Ecole St. Cecilia School (610 Agate Crescent S.E.Calgary AB (west on Southland Dr. past Blackfoot)) is hosting our 4th annual bicycle recycle and exchange event.  Families are encouraged to donate to the school any bikes, or parts, that they have out-grown and have the opportunity to get another bike for the upcoming summer that will fit better. Those donating a working bike will receive a $10 voucher (per bike) that can be exchanged towards a different bike.  All bikes will be sold on Saturday April 21 10:00am-1:00pm for $20 (max. one voucher per bike). People donating a bike this year will be allowed early entrance at 9:00 am. We are also opening up our collections againthis year to include used bike parts.  This is a great way to make some space in the garage or shed and know that you have helped your friends and community by reducing the need to purchase a new bike when your family has one that is no longer needed.  It also encourages the reuse of our bicycles, helps ensure that kids have easy access to healthy activities.  Bicycles and parts that do not find a home during our event will be donated to other organizations or recycled.  We are accepting all bikes from tricycles to adults.  Bike drop offs will be accepted Thursday April 18 and Friday April 19 from 3:30 to 6:30 pm each day.  If you are unable to attend but would like to donate please contact for possible pick ups.  Last year we had 272 bikes find new homes, this time we hope for 300..
