Earth Week and Month: Repair & Restore
Earth Week and Month: Repair & Restore
The theme for this year’s Earth Week and Month is Restore & Repair. Throughout the month of April, UCC will offer a range of opportunities for students, families, faculty, and staff to learn, connect, and take action for the planet.
This work is being supported by student leaders across the school, including the Sustainability Council in the Upper School and the Eco-Warriors in the Prep. Their leadership will help make this year’s Earth Week especially meaningful and engaging.
Two highlights of the week will be our first-ever Repair Café on Wednesday, April 22, Earth Day, from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Student Centre, and our second annual Farmers Market on Friday, April 24, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., also in the Student Centre.
The Repair Café, offered in partnership with Toronto Repair Café, will be a warm, intergenerational opportunity to bring broken items back to life, share skills, and connect in community. Stations will include bike maintenance and repair, visible mending, basic clothing repairs, small electronics troubleshooting, wood, glue, and clamp repairs, musical instrument maintenance and simple repairs, and more. Register here to get involved.
This year’s Farmers Market will be bigger and better than ever, with exciting new offerings and demonstrations, and we warmly encourage all families, students, faculty, and staff to stop by. We hope it will once again be a joyful community gathering for all.
Other Earth Week events will include an Upper School student tree-planting expedition in partnership with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, a keynote address to the Upper School by Joannah Lawson from the Brian + Joannah Lawson Family Foundation, a Beeswax Skincare Workshop offered by Backed By Bees, a Beltline Cleanup, and a campus restoration project in the Wild Things Learning Garden in the Prep.
We hope you will join us in celebrating Earth Week and Month and in embracing this year’s theme of Restore & Repair.
