Lululemon Expands the City’s Adaptive Equipment Inventory

The City of St. John’s would like to send a big thank you to Lululemon for adding four new pieces of adaptive equipment to our inventory! Lululemon corporate office asked for stores to share some of their most inspiring ideas that could create big change in their communities; Lululemon Avalon Mall pitched an idea to foster inclusion and accessibility in St. John’s.

The vision was to gift Hippocampe Wheelchairs to the City of St. John’s to improve access to the outdoors for people with mobility related barriers. Lululemon Avalon Mall were chosen from stores across North America to be funded by their community Initiatives team.

Funding was received to purchase three Hippocampe All-Terrain Wheelchairs and a Duet Cycle - coming soon!

To celebrate, staff from the City of St. John’s and Lululemon along with family and friends participated in a walk and wheel event at Bowring Park.

In addition to the Hippocampes and Duet Cycle, we also have a Hand Cycle available – perfect for navigating city trails and parks this spring!
