Andrew Hibma has been with New Hope Community Bikes for 8 years now as the Executive Director. He is passionate about cycling as an activity that strengthens communities, preserves the environment and supports healthy active lifestyles. He and his wife live in East Hamilton with their 2 and 4 year old sons who have begun to love bikes as much as their Dad.
 
Andrew will be sharing about the story of New Hope Community Bikes, including discussions about a recent project in the remote northern indigenous community of Pikangikum.
