Partner: Schubert Centre Society – Provides a secure storage space for the trishaws and equipment, a space for volunteer meetings, assistance with liability insurance coverage for passengers and volunteers . Under Schubert Centre’s umbrella, our volunteers and passengers are considered volunteers of Schubert Centre.
Our partners include: senior care homes, adult day cares, neighbourhood houses, recreation centres, and organizations that support seniors living in their own residences. Our primary passengers are seniors who can benefit from the opportunity to get out and enjoy The Right to Wind in Your Hair. The age of our passengers is generally between 70-100 with the average in their mid to late 80s.
What our Facilities are saying:
Firstly, Rose has completed her maiden voyage two weeks ago and is still beaming and talking about it- very positive experience, so thank you for providing this wonderful opportunity for her to feel like a Princess. Special kudos going to the pilot on that trip (my brain says Kathy).
Nadine and Rosie, Kindale
I was present Saturday morning when your wonderful volunteer took Helen out for her cycling adventure. She was absolutely thrilled! Cycling Without Age is such a beautiful program.
Teresa, Vernon Restholm
Our residents absolutely love the Cycling Without Age program. It gives them the chance to get outside and reconnect with nature in a way that many of them wouldn’t otherwise be able to. The rides spark wonderful conversations and leave everyone smiling when they return.” Thank you again for everything you do!
Melanie, Manager, Heaton Place Retirement Community
Our residents and tenants at all 3 sites, Osprey Court, Heritage Square and Creekside Landing Senior Residence, really enjoy and benefit from the Cycling without age program. It is a wonderful opportunity for them to get outside and experience the feeling of being on a bike again! It cues them to reminisce, socialize and experience parts of Vernon that many of them do not have opportunity to enjoy any longer! Thank you so much to Cycling Without Age organizers and Volunteers of the Vernon Chapter! You really make a difference for our residents and tenants.
