Green Venture is proud to now offer our all-terrain GRIT wheelchairs to walking groups run by retirement homes, care facilities, and more! These chairs are crank-powered with mountain bike tires, allowing a more ergonomic and versatile experience on rougher terrain including gravel, grass, dirt, and anywhere else your group wishes to traverse. Our chairs are available for loan in-kind, or with a small financial donation to help support our programming.

Please contact Akira(he/him) atakira.ourique@greenventure.ca for more information and availability.

Cycling Without Age is a world-wide initiative that provides people with mobility issues (whether young or not-so-young) an opportunity to once again get out into nature.  These passengers may be previous cycling enthusiasts or simply have a desire to get outdoors. Volunteering with Cycling Without Age (CWA) Hamilton & Burlington gives you an opportunity to give back to the community and, at the same time, share in the joy that your time commitment provides for the participants. Rides and training take place during the workweek. Most of our pilots are active retirees.

You will be trained to pilot a Danish-inspired and Dutch-built three-wheeled trishaw. The e-assist trishaw has 8 gears, and 3 power levels. Each pilot is accompanied by a separate volunteer cyclist for support and traffic safety. For more information see our CWA website which includes videos and more information. If you think you would like to apply please email cwahamilton@gmail.com.
