Sick of your clothes, but short of funds at the moment? Or want to try a different way to attain new clothing?

Come to the University of Alberta SAW Clothing Swap this Wednesday the 22nd from 10am-4pm in the Students Union Build (SUB) lower level 0-41 to swap for some pre-loved clothing and call it your own! We will have a drop off zone to bring your clothing in advance during the sustainability fair on Tuesday the 21st in SUB from 10am-3pm.

Don't have anything to swap? No problem! Come down with your friends to take a picture in our thrifster photo booth or/and enter a chance to win an outfit from our exhibition - props and exhibited clothing provided by Decadence thrift & vintage boutique.

All excess clothing will be donated to the Millbourne Community Life Centre (MCLC), which works in one of the lowest income neighborhoods within the city.

Event open to the public!
