Earth Day Reuse Café

Join us at the Earth Day Reuse Café!

Celebrate Earth Day and show some love for the planet with your pals at the Wesbrook Community Centre! Featuring bike tune-ups with the Bike Kitchen, upcycled material weaving with Our Community Fabric, clothing repairs, a baby and toddler clothing swap, and more!

Some things you may want to bring:

• Your bike for a free tune-up
• Pieces of clothing you want to have repaired
• Unneeded clothing or materials for the upcycled material weaving activity
• A reusable mug for free coffee or tea
• Clean and in good condition baby and toddler clothing (drop off April 23-25 only)
• Yourselves!

Earth Day activities will be taking place in the Wesbrook Community Centre Social Room.

The baby and toddler clothing swap will take place from 10-11:30 a.m. in the Lounge. Please drop off items at the Wesbrook Community Centre front desk between April 23-25. Items will not be accepted on April 26.

What is a circular economy?

A circular economy is a system where we focus on reusing, repairing, and recycling items to keep them in use for as long as possible. Instead of throwing things away, we reuse, share, and repurpose them, reducing waste and minimizing our environmental impact. The more hands an item passes through, the more environmental and economic value it provides. This approach not only helps protect the planet but also builds stronger, more connected communities. By working together to share resources and support one another, we create a more resilient, sustainable community.

This event is jointly organized by the UNA and UBC Campus and Community Planning.
