2025 Bike Valet at Old Strathcona Farmers Market

Thanks for your interest in volunteering for Old Strathcona Farmers Market to ensure the Bike Valet returns for summer 2025. OSFM is partnering with local volunteer organisations as well as Old Strathcona Cycles to staff the valet this year. Bike Edmonton has agreed to coordinate rostering for OSFM. We hope you will meet new people, make friends with other volunteers from other organisations and have some fun along the way! The role of supervising bicycle parking involves: 1. Greeting market patrons 2. Taking in bicycles 3. Giving a receipt to the bicycle owner 4. Collecting and recording usage statistics 5. Supervising the bikes 6. Returning the bikes back to their owners once the market patron returns as well as being generally available to answer questions relating to the bike parking and Bike Edmonton during your shift; and ensuring of course that bikes aren't stolen/removed by unauthorised person(s)! You don't need to know everything about Bike Edmonton or OSFM to participate. We'll give you some tips on how to answer questions and you can always refer people to our website. Bring a book or a friend, and enjoy. A minimum of two volunteers are required for each shift. As a thank you for your time and efforts, OSFM has agreed to discount food purchases from Paperbirch cafe by 50% for all volunteers during their shift. Priority will be given to existing volunteers and volunteers who have helped at other events, however we will match new volunteers with more experienced volunteers wherever possible. Don't let these details discourage you from signing up. We love to see new people out at events and we will make sure you're trained for your volunteer role.
