SUMMARY:FAIR FASHION FESTIVAL YORK: Fossil Fuel–Free\, Feminist\, and Built for Us.
DESCRIPTION:We’re back\, GTA — transforming fashion\, one thread at a time. The York Fair Fashion Festival is a BIPOC youth-led event rooted in community care\, sustainability\, and resistance to a system that exploits people and the planet. This all-ages gathering brings together youth\, families\, artists\, organizers\, and everyday people to imagine what a just\, circular future can look like\, starting with what we wear. \nAt FFF\, we center the stories and leadership of Black\, Indigenous\, and racialized youth and women who are too often excluded from sustainability conversations\, even though we’ve been doing the work all along. Through clothing swaps\, mending zones\, workshops\, community quilting\, and real talk with change-makers in the space\, we’ll build skills\, share stories\, and take action together. \n✨ Last year\, we kept 2\,000+ pounds of clothing out of landfills\, created jobs for youth\, and brought 200+ people into conversations on fashion justice and circular economies. ✨ This year\, we’re going even deeper — more hands-on workshops\, more space for connection\, more power in our communities. \nBring your friends. Bring your family. Come ready to swap\, stitch\, mend\, and thread a future that’s rooted in equity\, sustainability\, and joy. \nThis is the circular fashion movement — and you’re invited. \nComponents: \n\nMassive clothing swap\, bring 1-10 gently loved items to swap and exchange for new beloved treasures.\nWorkshops: Learn about Extended Producer Responsibility with Threading Change and join Uptown Climate Conversations for a discussion about Climate\, Healthy\, Anxiety\, and Fashion’s Link to it All\nTake part in TC’s Community Quilt: What do you want to change in the fashion industry?\nJoin Oxfam Canada for a Keynote Presentation outlinning the social implication and the current situation on the ground in garment producing countries and TC will host a panel discussion “Threading Circular Futures: Youth Power Leading Community Action”\nNetwork inside our Museum of Changemakers: A Dedicated Space for NGOS and youth-led movements committed to taking action towards achieving the UN’s 17 SDGS\nAlso in the Museum of Changemakers space we will have Oxfam Canada’s Stitch for Change Challenge!\n\nHow to get there: Metro: Line 1: Vaughan Metropolitan Centre Subway Station: yes it it wheel chair accessible! \n\nBus: 20\, 501\, 77\nParking: There is no free on-site parking available as the building does not have a parking lot. There are many paid parking lots available within the vicinity such as: short term on-street parking around the perimeter of the building; there is also parking available at TTC Commuter Lots\, KPMG building\, etc.\n\nNotes: \n\nTo save time at the swap\, pre-fill out the clothing audit form.
