Bike repair program supports Lethbridge youth

The ‘Get a Tune-up, Give a Tune-up’ campaign is the new community-focused initiative aimed at supporting our local youth. The folks at BikeLane are partnering with Big Brothers Big Sisters in Lethbridge to help launch the campaign. Mathew Hellawell, owner of BikeLane, says the program began on Nov the 20th and will run until March 31st. He says 10 dollars from every bicycle or e-bike tune-up at BikeLane will sponsor bicycle repairs for local children and youth involved in Big Brothers Big Sisters programs. This year alone, Big Brothers Big Sisters impacted over 26,400 youth in over 1,100 communities across Canada.
