As the Fabric Yarn & More Sale 2026 fades into the distance, we want to thank Bib and Tucker Clothing for lending us a mannequin. This was used to display one of the beautiful saris donated for the sale. Thank you, also, to the Co-op Marketplace on Quance Street, for lending us grocery baskets for our shoppers to use as they moved through the different rooms.
Fun Fact – we had more than 200 banana boxes full of fabric, measured, priced and ready for sale. Thanks go to the many grocery stores for allowing us to take those boxes off their hands!
Once the sale was over, we had enough fabric left to hold another small sale in June. Visit us at The Spot at the Southland Mall on June 13, between 10 and 3. You may find some bargains that you missed!
Dr. Mukwege’s post is included in the various posts on the SL Legacy page:
This recent post is from Dr. Denis Mukwege, Panzi Hospital, Democratic Republic of Congo: “Deeply saddened by the passing of Stephen Lewis, a fervent fighter for justice and human rights. In 2008, he was one of the first international officials to come to Panzi. As despair grew and our fight against sexual violence seemed ignored, he managed to hold the hand of survivors. He immediately understood the urgency and took our advocacy to the highest international level. Through Stephen Lewis Foundation his commitment to HIV-AIDS and sexual assault has made him a hero to countless women, and to me, a brother and a role model. My thoughts are with his family and the Canadian people. Let us celebrate together the legacy of this icon of human dignity.”
