We were so glad to be invited to university of Toronto (as an extension of their Ecofair) on April 20th. It was organized by the University of Toronto Graduate Students Union (UTGSU) Environmental Justice and Sustainability Committee.
The students were very welcoming to us market volunteers! They did a great job preparing the location, providing tables and clothing racks, and snacks. Also included in the Ecofair were The Repair Cafe, and Bikechain's Bike Check-up, offering free services for the afternoon.
We had quite a few visitors. We got the word out to some enthusiastic people who plan to visit and donate to our regular monthly market. Thanks to wonderful the volunteers for the afternoon.
See you at the next market!

It is really a shame that this once wonderful event has deteriorated into a free-fight fiasco. Ok, you can still find a few nice things here occasionally, but that is no longer the norm. Indeed, intimidating mayhem is what this free fair is turning into -- with no control evident by the otherwise warm hosts.
