BYOC in action!
Last month, HSCA hosted our first ever Skillz ‘N Stuff event. This community event was a Zero Waste Night, featuring a free pop-up refillery and information sessions by the City of Calgary & BluPlanet Recycling. Two of our HSCA Membership Partners had booths set up, (Sunnyside Natural Market & Canary Goods) promoting zero waste options and tips on how to reduce single-use plastic in our community. Attendees were encouraged to bring their own containers (BYOC) from home or donate any of any unused ones to others (a great excuse to declutter that container drawer).
With over 90 people in attendance, we’re pleased to say it was a success! Conversation, community building, and waste reduction strategies filled the space at HSCA. We want to give a huge shout out to all the passionate volunteers that made the event possible, including visionary and organizer Jocelyn K. and our hosts with the Kensington Clean-up Club (KCC).
Do you have an idea or activity you’d like to see or be involved in for our next Skillz ‘N Stuff event? When HSCA reopens we would love to hear from you! Skillz ‘N Stuff is intended to bring our community together over initiatives and activities important to residents!
