Bikes: Gilles Remillard

bikes: As demand for bike donations grew, Gilles Remillard, a retired farmer, began buying bikes off of Kijiji, according to CTV. He then turned their garage into a bike shop to polish up rusty bikes and fix broken ones in order to donate them. Gilles and Huguette Remillard decided to donate bicycles to the Refugee and Immigration Community Organization of Manitoba after they met a refugee family in their community from the Ivory Coast. There are really no words to express their faces, Huguette Remillard told CTV Winnipeg. According to Gilles Remillard, they like to deliver them so they can see the children faces when they see their new bikes for the first time. The Remillard not only buy and fix up the bikes but all deliver them to the recipients. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
