heroes on bikes
Since 1984, we’ve been awarding young individuals who have made a positive impact in their communities or demonstrated exceptional bravery in challenging circumstances by providing them with a brand new bicycles. Each year, we award around 100 bicycles, helmets, and locks to these remarkable young people.
This celebration of youth is open to children aged 6 to 17 living in the Greater Montreal area. To nominate a child for this year’s distribution, please complete the online application below (fields marked with an asterisk are mandatory). Remember, nominations must be submitted by March 15th, as applications received after this date will not be considered.
