Context of the mandate

Becoming a solidarity cyclist means promoting food security in your neighborhood in an eco-friendly way, with a group of super friendly and dynamic volunteers! It also means participating in the organization's festive and inclusive community activities and events.

The bike delivery person is tasked with picking up food items at the Chalet du parc du Pélican (2590 Masson Street, Montreal, QC H1Y 1V9) and delivering them to the Espace libre, located a few blocks away. 

This delivery is done with your bike or a Bixi, and is ideal for active outings during lunchtime.
