Catch up with Notes on Wellness host Kate Stevens and Tao Saunders, a bike mechanic at Two Wheel View in Calgary. Two Wheel View is a registered charity that “uses the bicycle to facilitate youth development programs in our community”. Tao works two days a week as part of a team that facilitates the “Earn-A-Bike” program through Gap Employability, a skills-based employability program for young adults 18-24.
Having completed the Gap Employability program in the winter of 2023, Tao’s graduation sparked an eagerness for Two Wheel View to retain their talents. Recognizing their potential, they created a part-time position for Tao to work in the shop on weekends. Since January of this year, Tao has been pivotal in facilitating the Earn-A-Bike program, showcasing a talent for inspiring and guiding participants.
