While we’re always strengthening and expanding our network of partners and collaborators, here are some of the organizations and businesses we’ve worked with so far:
The St. Lawrence Market
The WRG would like to extend special thanks to the St. Lawrence Market. The work we do would not be possible without continued support from the St. Lawrence Market team, who have generously provided us with a venue for our events, professional staff, promotional support, and various other accommodations. Together, we have been able to make a tangible impact on our local communities.
The St. Lawrence Market Business Improvement Area (BIA)
The St. Lawrence Market BIA is a non-profit organization whose membership includes every business and commercial property owner within the St. Lawrence Market Neighbourhood. They work cooperatively to improve the public realm, promote the neighbourhood and neighbourhood events, and support local businesses.
The St. Lawrence Market BIA is actively working with area residents, government agencies, and consultants to enhance the quality of the environment in which we work and live.

Charlie’s Freewheels
Charlie’s Freewheels uses bicycles to support the development of empowered young leaders and self-assured young cyclists. They do this by improving youth access to bicycles, facilitating bicycle-related skill development, and inspiring youth to ride with confidence.

The Culture Link Bike Hub
The CultureLink Bike Hub supports local cyclists and fosters a culture of repair and reuse. We help people fix their own bicycles, provide bike repair workshops on-site and in the neighbourhood, and repurpose used bicycles to build up new bikes. CultureLink has partnered with the WRG to offer free bike repairs at our REmarket events.
Terracycle
Terracycle is an international entity that partners with businesses around the globe to recycle and repurpose difficult-to-recycle objects and materials.
