All other Saturdays not listed above we will be CLOSED! As always, our open days are based on volunteer availability. Check our website or social media before stopping in to make sure we will be open! We hope to see you in the shop this summer. 

Spring Member Fabric Sale

We have too much fabric in the shop right now! If you want to help us clear it out, you just have to buy a membership and you get up a full $20 bag for FREE! Membership is only $20/year and gets you access to special sales and provides the opportunity to get more involved with our organization. The sale will be running from now until April 27 or until supplies last. We hope to see you in one Saturday this spring!

Restrictions: 

-Limited to one bag per person per day 

-We are closed the March long weekend on March 30

Closed Long Weekends

Hi Reusers! Just a reminder we are closed long weekends this winter and spring, including both February 17 and March 30.

CLOSED January 27

Unfortunately, due to illness and schedule conflicts none of our shop volunteers are available this Saturday, January 27, so the shop will be CLOSED. We have a volunteer in line for Saturday, February 3 and should reopen then.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

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.
