Come learn about print making! Maybe you missed our Mkoshin Printmaking workshop as part of Dis-O week? Or didn't get to finish your carving? Or have no idea what this is/how to do it!
This collab with the wonderful Artspace is a low pressure, fun, and PWYC event that will allow you to experiment with a new art form. It is beginner friendly :)
**Bring your carved block if you attended the Dis-O workshop so we can compile a book of everyone's prints!**
Can't make it October 21st? No worries, we will be having another workshop November 18th on main campus which you can also reserve a spot for now 🥳

Our Free Market + Vegan BBQ through the lens of Justin Sallas from Trent Annual (thank you so much for capturing this day, and all the smiles 📷).

The Free Market is an opportunity to connect outside of monetary exchange, learn about community initiatives, and question our relationship to consumerism. This was such a wonderful way to close out Dis-O week, and bring community out.

A special thank you Heather for bringing the Red Tent (photos coming soon), and Rick from Peterborough Pride for joining us.

Dis-Orientation Week 2026 – Mkoshin was phenomenal! 🌿 We wanted to take some time to recap a few of our events from the week:

Lino cut printmaking, led by some of OPIRG PTBO's Board members (Ava and Katie). Check out some of the designs we made during the session!

Beading workshop in collaboration with , where participants learned how to bead pronoun pins.

Take Back the Night Rally, led by Kawartha Sexual Assault Centre for its annual event, with community members, artists, students, and organizations in attendance.

Spin it Back, a listening experience with BLM Nogojiwanong. So much fun and a whole vibe for Friday night!

Dis-Orientation Week is an amazing opportunity to connect with community, learn new skills, and engage with social and environmental justice in a way that's fun and welcoming. Thank you to everyone who came out, and to all of our partners and facilitators who made the week what it was. 💛

🚲 Yesterday we gave away bikes! A collaborative event with and us here at OPIRG PTBO.

This one is special because it gives people an alternative way to get around. But what I've also noticed is that biking is a great way to connect to community, a stop at an intersection can bloom into a conversation, you can say hello to a fellow biker passing by, and with a membership from Community Bike Shop you can learn to keep your bike running yourself.

A very special thank you to Sunny and Anne, who came to Sadleir House to help facilitate the giveaway.

Didn't get a bike this time? Keep an eye out for OPIRG's future events. Dis-Orientation Week 2026 has been so much fun so far, and we're looking forward to seeing you all on the bikes around the city. 💛

We decided to eat, so you can too!

Join us for our Dis-Orientation Week Super Market Tour hosted by Madison Mäe Adsetts (2026 Summer Research Organizer) who focused her summer research on creating a 50th Anniversary edition of our supermarket tour. We have one that was done in 2008 that we are going to be reissuing in celebration of OPIRG Peterborough's 50th Birthday!

If you needed any other reasons to sign up for this filling event here's why:
- you get a tour of grocery stores in Peterborough, extra cool for people new to the city and also want to learn some of the bus routes

- You get a grocery gift card to do some light shopping on the tour

- Hate the florescent lighting and the stress of shopping alone, use this as an opportunity to body double and meet some new faces.

We will be meeting at Bata Loop [for those near campus] at 3PM
Peterborough Bus Terminal [for those downtown] at 3:30PM

Tour starts from the terminal at 3:45PM
