It's party time at the garbage dump! As many of you know, our August Hackathon is all about BIKES! There is an interesting opportunity to get involved with this project early coming up this Saturday. Anyone who hasn't done this before is wholeheartedly encouraged to come down. It is an amazing experience.
On Saturday July 5th, a team of volunteers will be heading out to the Brady Road Landfill bicycle compound to strip, sort, stack and scrap bikes to fill the racks and shelves of community bike shops in Winnipeg - and we need YOUR HELP! Come see what's in our waste stream as we turn garbage into the stuff of dreams! In addition to this, we will be picking out a few bikes to work on at the hackathon. Bring friends, bring family, the more volunteers, the more we can accomplish! No prior mechanical knowledge is necessary there are tasks for all skill levels. The WRENCH will be providing bike stands and tools, food, water, and shade for everyone who comes to help out. Be sure to sport sturdy closed toed footwear, a hat, sunscreen, rugged clothing, and a water bottle. The WRENCH is also looking for volunteers with vehicles to transport people, parts or bikes. *Here's how to get involved:* *1. *Sign up yourself/your team on the doodle schedule by clicking the following link.
