While the Vancouver Police Department is holding their auction this weekend to sell off stolen merchandise, the City of Kelowna has decided to renew a contract to have a local non-profit look after the resale of bikes stolen from city streets. Kelowna and District Society for Community Living takes in and refurbishes stolen bikes through their wood shop, handling the resale year-round out of their location at 555 Fuller St. The city is currently paying $10,000 a year to the non-profit to do the job and the contract will increase to $12,000 by 2012, with the organization keeping the profits from the sales to offset some of their programming costs.
