Join us on Friday, September 11 from 4 to 8 p.m. at Elevation Place for a free, hands-on event that connects you with practical ways to reduce waste, repair what you already own, and discover the local share and repair economy.
Things you can bring:
✅ Outdoor jackets, shells, and technical apparel for patching and zipper repairs
✅ Hiking boots, climbing shoes, running shoes, Birkenstocks, Blundstones, and other footwear for repair assessments
✅ Watches and jewelry for minor repairs, adjustments, cleaning, and battery replacements
✅ Clean clothing for alterations and simple repairs in the Sew & Share Room
✅ Unwanted or broken computers, laptops, monitors, and other electronics for recycling and refurbishment
✅ Clothing, shoes, and accessories for the Canmore Public Library Clothing Swap-O-Rama donation program
You'll also find bike maintenance advice, food preservation tips, upcycling activities, family-friendly crafts, the Library of Things, prizes, and much more.
🙋 We're looking for volunteers!
Help bring two activity stations to life:
Climbing Rope Upcycling Station: Help attendees transform retired climbing rope into coasters, placemats, and other useful items. Materials will be pre-cut and ready to go.
Family & Youth Craft Area: Assist with simple upcycling crafts such as toilet paper roll binoculars, egg carton caterpillars, and coffee filter flowers.
As a thank-you, volunteers will receive a $25 honorarium and a pizza dinner, with vegetarian and gluten-free options available.
