New Closing Time + Winter Open Days

Hi Reusers! Starting December 16, 2023, we will be observing new closing hours and we will be closing at 2:00pm until further notice. We will still be opening at 10:30am. We have some new shop closing procedures that are taking extra time and our volunteers need that little extra at the end of their shifts and we don't want to make their day any longer! Thanks for your understanding.

As well, we have our winter open days decided from January - April. At this time we will be closed on the long weekends: February 17 and March 30. All other Saturdays in the winter we are going to do our best to be open! However, as always we are volunteer run and our schedules change. We will always keep you up-to-date on our website and social media if we need to close unexpectedly.

Shop Local Day & Heritage Arts Market

Hi Reusers! We are proud to be located in Regina's Heritage neighborhood in the aptly named Arcola Triangle. On Saturday, December 9th the Heritage Community Association has two special events happening. 

One is a Shop Local Day to promote businesses and non-profits located in the Heritage neighborhood. We have been included in their interactive map to encourage people to come shop. 

As well, they will be holding a Heritage Art Market in the newly renovated Old Municipal Justice Building: Mitakuyé Owâs'ā Centre at 1770 Halifax Street. We hope you can spend time on Saturday supporting all the wonderful businesses and organizations that call the Heritage neighborhood home.

Donating Paused Until January 2024

Hi Reusers! Fortunately and unfortunately, we have too much stock at this time and our storage room is overflowing - thanks for all of your VERY generous donations over the last few weeks! However, this means we need to put a pause on donating until the new year until we can clear stock from our racks and storage room. If you can hold onto your donations until January 2024, we would appreciate it very much! Winter 2024 open days will be announced very soon for you to mark your calendars to donate. Also, stay tuned for sale announcements to help clear our stock. 😁

New Ramp and Electric Door Entries

In 2021, we received funding from the City of Regina for some accessibility upgrades through their Adapted Sport & Recreation Grant program. Although the project had hiccups, delays, and changes along the way we are excited that as of January 2023 we are more accessible than ever! Thanks to our landlords, Malia & Scott Carson, and the team at Storm Applied Technologies and Shaolin Dragon Kenpo School, we were able to work together for these important building upgrades. As many know, we are just one of many renters in the 1761 Wallace Street building and were happy to make this building more accessible not just for our users but all users of the building!
