A clothing swap is a great way to refresh your wardrobe, share what you no longer wear, and help reduce textile waste — all for free!

Bring your clean, gently used clothing to swap with others in the community. You can drop off donations September 22-26 between 8:00 AM and 9:00 PM at 4964 Simcoe Loop, or bring them straight to the event on Saturday. You can also bring them to the Ranger Park Building (3736 16th Ave) on Wednesday, September 24 between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. during Bulkley Valley Tool Library open hours.

Have a few items to sell but not enough for a garage sale? Join our trunk sale! No pre-registration required — just load up your car and park between 8:30–9 AM to set up. Even better, come by bike in honour of GoByBike week! Load up your panniers or trailer and pedal on over. Vehicles won’t be allowed in after 9 AM. Shoppers welcome anytime between 9–11 AM.

Local Supply Co is hosting a Blundstone Leather Care pop-up event at the store between 2 and 5 p.m. Stop by with your boots for a freshen up!

Celebrate the harvest with a community meal! Bring a dish made from your garden bounty (with a clear label) along with your own cup, plate, bowl, and cutlery. Please arrive before 6 PM so we can begin eating on time. Families welcome!
We’ll also have a table for “garden barter” — swap extras like pickled onions for kale.
