Around 250 riders participated in the 21st annual Charity Motorcycle Ride for Lansdowne Kids on Saturday, June 28, 2025.
Bob Caissie, a long-time volunteer for Lansdowne Children’s Centre, first started the event over 20 years ago to help raise funds for the organization’s greatest needs, and since then it’s continued to support the local organization year after year.
Although the ride has traditionally been coordinated by the Lansdowne Children’s Centre Foundation in the past, it was announced in March that Ensuring Brant, a not-for-profit community association of volunteers, would be taking over the event.
Brian Kinrade, President of Ensuring Brant and a long-standing participant, said that he and his group were inspired to step in because of their own ties to the organization.
“Lansdowne helped my two sons with their speech therapy and so I wanted to be able to give back,” he said. “It’s just such a great organization and I think there are a lot of people who have, at some point, been touched by Lansdowne and want to help out, so everyone that’s here today has donated in some way, be it with their time or with money, and all of that goes back to the kids.”
