RCMP and Special Olympics Yukon to Auction Bicycles This Weekend

Thursday, 16 July 2020 15:21

Bicycles not reported as lost or stolen are held in storage for approximately nine months to a year. Bikes not claimed in that time are auctioned off as a fundraiser in support of the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Yukon.

Whitehorse RCMP will be co-hosting a bicycle auction this weekend in support of the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Yukon.

While on patrol, Whitehorse RCMP officers regularly recover bicycles that have not been reported as lost or stolen. These bikes are held in storage for approximately nine months to a year. Bikes not claimed in that time are auctioned off as a fundraiser.

This year, funds from the auction will support Special Olympics Yukon, a local organization that many Yukon RCMP employees hold near and dear to their hearts.

The auction will be held this Saturday, July 18th on 5th Avenue, behind the Whitehorse RCMP Detachment. There will be over 100 bikes - big and small - available to bid on. Viewings will begin at 11:30 a.m. with the auction set to begin at noon.

Please note, due to the current Government of Yukon orders related to the pandemic, we cannot accommodate more than 40 people at any given time during the auction.
