One bike. 29 seats. One amazing cause.
Our MEGABike team for the Kitchener-Waterloo Thanksgiving Day Parade is growing, but we still have room for a few more riders! 
This special float is a collaboration between the Locally Connected Community Hub and Tradebank, who have generously covered the float fees and MEGABike logistics. All we ask from riders is a minimum fundraising target of $100. You’ll also receive a Breast Cancer Canada shirt to proudly wear in the parade.
- You’re a big fan of the KW Thanksgiving Day Parade
- You’ve always wanted to be in the parade (but never thought how… until now!)
- Riding a giant 29-seat bike just sounds fun
- You’ve been touched by breast cancer in some way—through a friend, family member, or your own journey
- You want to support Breast Cancer Canada, a national charity funding life-changing research since 1991
- You simply want to help end breast cancer

Neighbours Helping Neighbours: LCCHub’s November Food Drive
This November, the Locally Connected Community Hub is giving back in a big way! Each of our meetups throughout the month will serve as a collection point for our annual Community Food Drive, with all proceeds supporting the incredible work of local food banks within each chapter’s community. If you’re attending a meetup in November, we invite you to bring along a non-perishable food item or a cash donation to help families in need. In 2024, our Eastbridge chapter collected 59 lbs of non-perishable food (and an amazing 149 lbs in 2023!) — and this year, we’re setting our sights higher, aiming for a collective total of 250 lbs across the Community Hub network. Let’s come together and make a meaningful difference — one can at a time!
