Making the Season Kind: A Community-Powered Bike Package for the CBC Calgary Food Bank Auction

The Alberta Bike Swap is honoured to support the CBC Calgary Food Bank auction with a special bike package that reflects the heart of our mission: keeping great bikes in great hands. This year, we are thrilled to share that a previously loved, barely used Norco Corsa 1—complete with a lock and pump—was generously donated to help raise funds for the Calgary Food Bank. This gift captures the spirit of the circular economy, where quality items continue their journey with new riders and new purpose.

These moments don’t happen in isolation. It truly takes a village to bring together the people, skills, and generosity that make community support possible. We are deeply grateful to the partners who strengthen our work and help build a kinder season for everyone.

@TwoWheelView
@LoriFitFrog
@AMA – AlbertaMotorAssociation

@VillageBicycles
@BriseboisBees

Each of these organizations plays a role in supporting accessible, affordable cycling and in extending the life of well-loved bikes. Their dedication helps ensure that more people across Alberta can enjoy safe, reliable transportation—and that more bikes stay on the road instead of in storage.

Thank you to every partner and supporter. Your generosity makes a real difference, day after day. Watch for individual shout-outs in the coming weeks as we celebrate the many hands that make this work possible.
