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 25 | Christmas Card Making Help the Christmas Bureau make Christmas cards for their hampers. |
| August 8 | Backpack Repairs Repair your backpack for the coming school year. |
Swap events centred around 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 5 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 | Type of Item |
|---|---|
| July 20 | Movies Swap usable commercially recorded beta, VHS and DVD's. |
| August 17 | Back to School Swap non-electronic school supplies that are not normally accepted like lunch boxes, water bottles and more. |
| September 21 | Books Books must be in good condition. No encyclopedias or textbooks. |
| October 19 | Halloween Costumes Must be in clean and wearable condition. |
| November 16 | Powered Craft Supplies Bring in powered craft supplies like sewing and die cut machines, soldering irons and more. Must be clean and in safe, usable condition. |
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.
