The Stittsville branch is pleased to host the Gift of Sustainability series from Eco West Enders. Trying to live a kinder, gentler life for the planet doesn't have to feel like a sacrifice. With the right mindset and actions, it can feel like a gift. Join Eco West Enders for this three part workshop as they explore what a gift it can be when you live through the lens of sustainability. Join us for one, two or all three! All events are family friendly.
The Gift of Gentler Giving
No matter what you celebrate or when you celebrate, showing your love from someone can come with a high ecological burden if wrapping with single use paper, tape, ribbons, etc. Join us on November 1st as we sew re-useable gift bags for your gifts, or help you design your own gift wrap with upcycled t-shirts or simply make beautiful, re-useable tags. Upcycling supplies will be on hand or bring what you have from home! Bring your items for wrapping right on the spot or make and go! Learn to love lessening the ecological load of your gifting this year.
Established in 2019, Eco West Enders is a west Ottawa based (though open to all) group of like-minded individuals looking to offer local, community events that support sustainable living. Through our Pollinator Patch Program, our Kid's Clothing Swap & Sew, our partnership with OSEAN on The Lone Mitten Project, our Speaker Series or various other diversion efforts, Eco West Enders is always trying to find ways to support our community's sustainable efforts.
