East Gwillimbury is inviting residents to take part in a series of free upcycling workshops in November, offering opportunities to reduce waste, repair damaged belongings and give unwanted items a new lease on life.
The workshops include textile mending on Nov. 7, an upcycling art workshop on Nov. 14 and a Repair Café on Nov. 21. At the Repair Café, volunteers will help residents fix broken items, encouraging people to repair and reuse rather than throw things away.
The sessions aim to promote more sustainable habits in the community while helping residents learn practical skills. Registration is required, and residents can find details and sign up through the Town of East Gwillimbury’s website.
