You know that Oshawa Centre is always an exciting place to find new things. But this week, some of our newest ideas are all about reusing old things.

• See the FBSC.org display of repurposed items including old window frames, lampshades, wine

bottles and more.

• Talk to community groups and retailers to learn about local eco-friendly initiatives.

• Discover exciting student projects and environmental research by UOIT.

• Free Eco forget-me-not seed sticks to plant in your garden.

1 Planet. 7 days

Earth Week Fair:     Boost Your Eco

April 20 to 26

Monday to Friday: 5pm to 9pm

Saturday & Sunday: 2pm to 6pm

There’s no better place to learn how to make a positive change for our environment. After all, last year alone Oshawa Centre recycled 1,175 metric tonnes of waste… enough to cover a football field 23.5 metres deep! So we’re proud to present this event in conjunction with the community and the Community Repurposing Competition. Why not enter your idea? Or simply discover the latest about gardening, conservation and garbage reduction. Either way, you win!
