Toronto Compost and Connect Social Hour

We are hosting a casual get-together for anyone in the city who is interested in composting, gardening, or just finding more ways to live sustainably. This is a low-pressure space to swap tips on managing a bin in a small apartment, share experiences with local community gardens, or simply meet others who care about reducing waste. Whether you are a total beginner who is curious about where to start or a seasoned composter with a heap in your backyard, you will find a welcoming crowd here. We will be meeting up to chat, share stories, and maybe even trade some compost wisdom or leftover kitchen scrap solutions. There is no formal agenda or presentation; just bring yourself and an interest in making our city a little greener. If you have been looking for a way to connect with like-minded neighbors in Toronto, please pull up a chair and join us. If you think you can make it, please let us know by sending an RSVP so we can get an idea of how many folks to expect. We look forward to seeing you there.
