“Hi! I’m Katherine! I moved to Toronto a couple of years ago after living abroad for almost 10 years, living in Denmark, Switzerland, and the Marshall Islands. I love travelling and I’m an avid cyclist!

Volunteering at The Redwood for Bike Club was a great way to connect with my community by sharing my love for living an active lifestyle and teaching bike and road safety.

It was amazing to see children living in The Redwood who participated in Bike Club gain more confidence as they learned new skills every week!

I really like how The Redwood’s Bike Club is a safe space for children where they can build muscles not only for riding a bike, but also muscles and skills on how to process difficult emotions that come with learning a new skill and healing from the trauma they experienced.

It’s been a pleasure to be able to volunteer and build connections with Redwood staff and residents!”
