A mask or face covering (that covers nose, mouth and chin) is mandatory to enter MEC stores or while picking up online orders. Keep yourself and others safe. Note, masks are not supplied at stores, please bring your own. If you are unable to wear a mask, consider shopping online as an alternative. MEC reserves the right to refuse entry to the store if a mask or face covering is not worn. Exemptions exist in accordance with applicable bylaws and orders, please refer to sign at door for details.

Some MEC retail locations and bike repair shops are re-opening, as provincial governments allow. Safety measures are in place and some services are limited.

Stores that are fully open are accepting in-person returns. (Bike shops cannot accept returns.) If your local store isn’t open yet, you can mail your return or just wait until later – MEC’s return policy doesn’t expire.

We are closely monitoring guidelines from provincial governments and local health authorities to provide a safe environment for MEC staff and members. We’ll update you as new information becomes available.
