Gaagagekiizhik School is located in Kenora, Ontario and is operated by Bimose Tribal Council Member’s First Nations. To promote health and well-being True North Aid is fundraising to purchase durable bicycles for youth in grades K-9. Once the bicycles are purchased, True North Aid will partner with trucking companies to ship the bicycles to Kenora. The OPP will then take the bicycles from Kenora to Bimose and help with assembly and distribution.
There are several reasons why all children should be provided an opportunity to ride:
- It’s great for your heart
- It boosts your immune system
- It’s a great future investment that saves the environment
- It increases vitamin D – by getting out doors rather than staying inside to play video games
- You live longer by prompting regular exercise
- Almost everyone can do it
