About the MASRC Urban Bike Program

The MASRC Urban Bike Program was created with the goal of providing independent, reliable, and safe transportation to Indigenous youth that have relocated to Winnipeg for school or for work.

Through our program, successful applicants receive at no cost:

  • A new or gently used bike;
  • A new lock;
  • A new helmet;
  • A bell for their bike.

Successful applicants must be willing and able to make arrangements to pick up their bike.

Applicants must be:

  • Indigenous (First Nations, Métis, or Inuit);
  • Youth between the ages of 16-24;
  • Relocated to Winnipeg from outside of the city for work or school.
    • Work includes part-time, full-time, contract, internship, or other types of employment.
    • School includes any part-time or full-time involvement in a high school, college, university, or GED course or program.

Required Documents

  • An unofficial transcript or letter of enrollment from your school (high school, college, or university) OR
  • A letter of confirming your employment dated in 2026.

Important Notes:

  • Letters must include the school/employer's name, address, and contact information;
  • Transcripts must show the school's name and address (official transcripts are not required);
