About Us
The WRENCH is a charitable non-profit that operates the largest and best equipped community bike shop in western Canada and is an international leader in community bike programming.
Since 2010 the WRENCH has utilized volunteer labour and bike parts reclaimed from the waste stream to create community bike programming aimed at educating youth, empowering volunteers and providing people with affordable, sustainable active transportation options.
Our Vision
We envision a world where everyone is empowered to experience their community by bicycle.
Our Mission
The WRENCH creates stronger, healthier communities by removing barriers to building, repairing, maintaining, and riding bicycles – with a focus on educating youth. We make bikes accessible by:
- Providing programming, education and resources for community members, groups and organizations.
- Supporting school and community bike shops.
- Promoting bike use.
