The Reuse Centre runs events promoting reuse and waste reduction throughout the year. Join us for an upcoming DIY Thursday or Swap Event.
DIY Thursdays are free workshops featuring local experts that focus on building skills to help you reduce waste! Past DIY Thursdays have included: Bike repair workshops, gardening workshops and sewing.
Time/Duration: 6-8pm (2hrs)
| Date | Workshop |
|---|---|
| July 24 | Christmas Card Making Get a head start turning old Christmas cards into new ones. |
| August 21 | Floral Wreath Building Create a beautiful floral wreath from reused materials. |
| August 28 | Reusable Bag Repair Learn to repair your reusable bags through Discovery-based learning. |
We call you an expert, but if you have a passion for sharing your waste reduction skills, please sign up for one of our available slots.
Available Dates:
Swap events focus on specific types of items, such as books, movies, and toys. Residents can trade items with each other at no charge in a fun and safe environment.
Rather than throwing them away, or letting them collect dust on the shelf, you can give them a second life and find something new for yourself! Bring up to five items to trade, free of charge.
The Reuse Centre will still be open for regular business during the swap, so you are welcome to drop off any donations you may have while you're here.
Time: 10am-3pm
| Date | Event Type |
|---|---|
| August 16 | Back to School Swap non-electronic school supplies that are not normally accepted, like clothing, lunch boxes, water bottles and more. |
| September 20 | Books Books must be in good condition. No encyclopedias or textbooks. |
| October 18 | Halloween Costumes Must be in clean and wearable condition. |
| November 15 | Toys Swap usable outgrown toys. |
Looking to host your own event? Our workshop room is available free of charge to groups promoting Reuse and Reduction education.
The Reuse Centre also offers programming for schools and community groups.
The Community Clean Up Grant provides funds to organizations so that they can conduct a community waste or litter removal project.
