MONTREAL —  Argon 18 attended the launch of a new community bike garage at the Maison de Santé Prévention – Approche 180, a clinic specialized in the prevention and management of obesity and related illness.

“We are proud to support the launch of the bike garage. This initiative fits closely with our company values and is in keeping with our desire to promote cycling as a sport to help foster an active lifestyle,” said Alain Pelletier, vice-president marketing at Argon 18 in a statement.

Located on the clinic’s premises in the heart of Montreal’s plateau neighbourhood, close to the proposed 184-km Réseau Express Vélo cycling path network, the new bike garage is meant to contribute to promoting an active lifestyle, serving as a gathering point for youth to get their bikes repaired or to attend urban health workshops planned in partnership with Maison de Santé Prévention – Approche 180’s team of healthcare professionals.

“We are thrilled that Argon 18 is attending the launch of our new bike garage,” stated Dr. Julie St-Pierre, director of the Maison de Santé Prévention – Approche 180.
