Community

We’ve moved! We’re now at 1051 Wellington Road. The new store is about 1km north of the old one. The space is an awesome upgrade with almost twice the space for gear, rentals, bike and ski service and more community events happening throughout the year.

Your local MEC store is more than just a place to get gear – it’s a hub for your outdoor community.

Local events

Join a meet-up group, sign up for a ride or race, and learn from experts at in-store clinics. Find MEC events near you to run, bike or gain new skills. Our events are low cost (or even free) with a fun vibe and friendly people.

Grants and donations

Our Community Investment program has given tens of millions of dollars to conservation and the outdoor community in Canada. Every purchase helps conserve the places where we play and support all Canadians getting active outside. Find out if your community project is eligible and how to apply for support.

Gear rentals

Reservations are highly recommended for holidays and weekends. Read our rental policies and procedures for information on reservations.

Some gear may only be available to rent at certain times of the year. When there’s snow on the ground, that’s usually when we swap out summer gear with winter gear (like skis or snowshoes). Take a look online to see what’s available for your preferred dates.

Green building features

Green building features

The space we have taken over provides great potential to bring the MEC brand to life inside and out.

The completely refurbished building incorporates key elements of MEC’s renewed architectural brand, including a distinctive floating canopy to mark the store’s entrance and wood-infused interiors to define the store and display merchandise.

Our new architectural design is featured in the building and improvements include a new roof with R40 thermal protection and a high-performance heating, cooling and ventilation system.

As part of MEC’s extensive green building program, the store operates on renewable energy.
