The Guelph Tool Library is excited to be working with Habitat for Humanity Guelph-Wellington to bring back Re:Purpose Fest, a free community recycling festival.
Re:Purpose Fest brings together a variety of community initiatives that help repair, re-home, reuse, and recycle household goods. This one day event will take place on Saturday, May 28th from 11 am to 2 pm at 104 Dawson Road. This event is made possibly by the City of Guelph, Habitat for Humanity Guelph-Wellington, and The Ontario Trillium Foundation Resilient Communities Fund. We hope you can join us at this celebration of a circular economy.
We look forward to brining you live entertainment, a free BBQ, and hands on workshops throughout the day, provided by our friends at Living Better on Less, and the Backyard Caring Program. A detailed list of accepted and prohibited items is available here
