SECONDHAND SUNDAY (SEPT. 27): Put your stuff on the curb and find out what others what put out on their curbs!

Since it is still not safe to hold a crowded market in one place, we are joining City-supported Secondhand Sunday and inviting all of you to be part of it by putting your stuff on your own curb next Sunday, September 27th, 9 am-5pm!

WHAT IS Secondhand Sunday?

Secondhand Sunday (SHS) is a community reuse day held the last Sunday of April and September. It’s your chance to get rid of unwanted, reusable items laying around your home.

Simply leave them on your property next to the sidewalk or curb for your neighbours to take for free.

Then, get in on the action and hunt for what you may need (on others' sidewalks).

The September Secondhand Sunday has been approved by Toronto Public Health.

If you want to participate and also find out about other participants in your area, email Secondhand Sunday. That will give you an opportunity to connect with the others via facebook as well. You will be sent that information.

And here are printable POSTERS and POSTCARDS you can use to advertise it on your block and encourage your neighbours to join.

Find here also a helpful list of additional INSTRUCTIONS
provided by Secondhand Sunday (e.g., what to put out, what to do at end of day).

Everything you want to know about Secondhand Sunday--FAQs, contacts, what to do if you live in a multi-residential building, volunteer opportunities, and more--can be found on Secondhand Sunday's website.

See you September 27th: everywhere in Toronto!

WHERE IS CAMPBELL AVENUE PARK?

Campbell Avenue Park is on 225 Campbell Avenue, north of Wallace Avenue and south of Antler Street, a 7 min. walk from Landsdowne Station, and a 5 min. walk from Symington bus stop on Dupont Avenue.

Locate Campbell Avenue Park on Google maps.
Or visit here to find more about the park.
PARKING: Last time we checked there was street parking on Campbell Avenue, with a 3-hour limit, which is much more than you will need. However, please check this information for yourself. We are not responsible for parking tickets you might receive if the above information is incorrect.

What is a Really Really Free Market?

A Really Really Free Market is a community-space for sharing – where people bring what they have to give, take what they need. But it's not swapping or trading. It’s kind of like a potluck, but for goods and services--but with an important difference: You don't need to bring anything to take something.

Please check facebook and signs at the market or ask information desk volunteers for quantity limits and visit (time) limits.

Please bring items in boxes, small bags or large clear bags. Use of black garbage bags is discouraged, since we cannot see what is inside the bag when it is handed to us; also we cannot recycle black garbage bags.
