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 Warmth and Division
Have you ever wondered what happens to the mittens in that lost and found bin? Sadly without a mate, a majority of these near perfect mittens and gloves end up in landfills. The Lone Mitten Project aims to change all that. During this event, we will create upcycled tags of love for the recipients of these closely matched mitts. Your help will ensure 1000+ pairs are rescued from landfill and give the gift of warm hands this winter. This event is presented in partnership with OSEAN (Ottawa South Eco-Action Network) and the Stittsville Community Micro-Grant Program.
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.
