The Cycle of Giving is a community charity initiative supporting local Stratford organizations.
Inspired by a European tradition, our goal is to build awareness of various worthy causes.
At its heart is a beautifully painted and decorated bicycle, permanently displayed at Ballinran Entertainment, located at 147 Downie Street in Stratford, Ontario. The bicycle serves as a symbol of creativity and a reminder that we are all spokes on a wheel.
Our inspiration comes from Amsterdam where decorated “art bikes” and flower-covered bicycles have become a recognizable part of the visual culture.
The Stratford “Cycle of Giving” builds on that spirit with a local spin – using art, storytelling and visibility to help focus attention on a different charitable or community organization each month.
