You can go old school, while embracing all things analog at Environment Lethbridge’s first-ever Go Analog Community Swap.
If you have items such as records, board games, puzzles, DVDs, and cameras to donate, or if you’re looking for new-to-you items, this is the event for you.
Bring your gently-used analog items from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 7 to the LSCO.
When you donate items, you’ll receive a voucher for free entry to the swap on Nov. 8 from 1-4 p.m. to come back and take as many treasures as you would like.
Don’t have items to donate? For $5, you can browse the swap items and take as many treasures as you want, as well.
“We’ve been looking at ways to keep items out of the landfill. We’re looking for things that don’t connect to the Internet,” said Environment Canada Executive Director Kathleen Sheppard. “We’ve been running Reuse Rendezvous for a number of years now, and this builds on that.”
“This is the first time we’ve done one with this theme. In February, we did an Arts and Crafts Supply Swap using the same model and it was very successful,” Sheppard noted. “We’ll be bringing that one back again in February.”
Please note: Books will not be accepted due to volume and space requirements.
Environment Lethbridge is also offering you a chance to create the drought-resilient yard of your dreams with the Waterwise 101 program.
Registrations are now open for a six-part workshop series that will guide you through the process of transforming your outdoor space.
From setting goals and a budget to completing a landscape installation on your property, Waterwise 101 will help you put a plan into action.
If you hate your lawn, want to use less water, or want to attract pollinators, Waterwise 101 can help.
The 2027 cohort begins in January and runs through June.
Participants can attend regular workshops and will receive advice and mentoring from an Urban Watershed Ambassador.
Registration is limited to 30 participants.
“We put it on last year. It takes homeowners through the whole process of setting goals for the yard, figuring out their budget, putting together a plan, and we hope they’ll be able to end the workshop series by doing an actual landscape installation in their yards. It gives them the full-range of tools and some support to help them do that,” Sheppard explained.
