REPURPOSING AND REUSING

Reusing, repurposing and restoring buildings for the 21st Century uses is what we're doing in Wesleyville Village.

 

We have a zero garbage policy at our Friends of Wesleyville Village events. We like to think our current "Re display" in the church fits right in. The word "Sustainability" has entered people's vocabulary and the cradle to grave concept (I.e. the environmental impact created by a product from its beginning to its disposal) is being talked about. Reusing or repurposing was a way of life in bygone days (what else would you do with items?). Examples of reusing fabrics in quilts or rugs and more modern day creative recycling of paper and fabric can be seen in the display. Check out our "Re Display" below for ideas on what you can do instead of tossing some common items in the garbage.

The Friends of Wesleyville Village was founded on the lands of the Michi Saagig Anishinaabeg traditional territory covered by the Williams Treaties, specifically the Gunshot Treaty signed by the Mississauga First Nations of Alderville, Curve Lake, Hiawatha and Scugog Island. We express gratitude towards the Indigenous peoples who have and will continue to steward these lands and waters. We pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We dedicate ourselves to moving forward in the spirit of partnership, collaboration, and reconciliation, as we contemplate the possibilities that lie ahead. Our commitment is to listen, learn, and establish meaningful relationships with our Indigenous sector colleagues, and take actions that advance reconciliation. We do so by recognizing the past and working towards a shared future.
