No registration is required.
For a list of acceptable items under each category, please check out: Brita filters, Oral Care (toothbrush), pens, markers and highlighters, and disposable razors.
2. Waste-Themed Storytime and Craft
From 10:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. gather around the first-floor fireplace to listen to family-friendly waste reduction stories that encourage children to learn about the importance of reducing waste, reusing items, and recycling materials. Then from 11:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. children can go to the Children's Program Room to take part in a reuse craft to repurpose waste materials and prevent them from going to landfills.
3. Repair Cafe
Have a broken or damaged item? Pop by the Repair Café to learn how to fix them with the help of local experts. Don’t forget to bring your own reusable mug and enjoy a cup of coffee while you wait. Advance registration is required: https://webforms.whitby.ca/Sustainability/2024/Repair-Cafe-Fall-2024
