Our bike mechanics can do it all, from installing fenders to building wheels from scratch. Not sure what work your bike needs? Bring it in for a free safety inspection and we’ll let you know. Call us to set up a bike shop visit. Small repairs can be done while you shop.

A la carte bike services

Professional ski and snowboard shop services to set you up for the season. Some services may not be available year-round. Call us to set up a visit.

When you buy 2 or more of the big 3 items (skis, boots or bindings), we’ll mount your bindings for free. This offer applies to all types of ski equipment sold at MEC, and proof of purchase is required. If you’re shopping online, you can take advantage of this deal by placing your order via phone at 1.888.847.0770 or 604.876.6221.

If you’re thinking about buying something and it’s in our rental program, you can try it out and put your first day’s rental towards your purchase.

Reservations are highly recommended for holidays and weekends, and some items are available seasonally. Read our rental policies and procedures for information on reservations and credit towards purchase.

Weekend special

Pick up your gear starting Thursday at 3:00pm and pay for just Saturday and Sunday.

Hiking and camping gear

Climbing gear

Watersports gear

Note: All boats/paddleboards are rented with paddles, PFDs and safety gear, except the boat-only whitewater kayak. You may require a roof rack for boat transportation.

Visit the Member Service Desk if you have gear to recycle or repair.

Gear Swap

Buy, sell or swap your outdoor gear with the MEC Gear Swap. It’s our way of encouraging people to recycle their gear. Sometimes we host swap events in store or at events – check the events site for info.

Repairs

Zippers, jackets, packs, bikes, snowshoes – if it needs repairing, there’s a good chance we can help fix it (or know someone who can). Everything you buy from MEC is covered by our Rocksolid Guarantee. Make sure your gear is clean before you bring it by for us to take a look.

Recycling

If you bought any of the items below at MEC, you can bring them back to our store for recycling:

• AA and AAA batteries (no broken or corroded ones please).
• Bike tires and tubes – they can get ground up for tarmac or playground surfaces.
• Climbing rope – it could become dog leashes, acoustic insulation or stuffing.

Have a question about something that’s not on the list above? Give us a call or contact your local municipal recycling program.

The Edmonton store opened in 1998 in a refurbished grocery store. When we moved into the space, we found ways to make improvements to an existing building. Here are some of the green features:

• The canopy soffits (the triangular extensions under the eaves) are made from timber recovered from the MacMillan Bloedel plant in Port Alberni, BC.
• To cut down on materials required, there are minimal floor and ceiling coverings.
• To reduce energy consumption, we use high-efficiency fixtures controlled by auto dimmers, and occupancy sensors turn them off when there’s no one around.

Like all MEC buildings, we’re proud to say that this store is carbon neutral. We purchase Green Electricity Certificates and Green Natural Gas Certificates from Bullfrog Power, which means that Bullfrog procures renewable energy (wind, micro-hydro and biogas) on our behalf for electricity and natural gas.

There are big plans in the works for MEC Edmonton. The store is gearing up to move to the city’s Brewery District, and the new store will be designed to achieve a minimum of LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver Certification.

MEC aims to maximize efficiency and minimize environmental impacts in our stores. Learn more about our green buildings.
