We are glad to back in conference mode after having spent the past 2 years hosting our WEAR webinar series.
We decided to split up our annual WEAR conference this year into two seasons and held our first fully virtual WEAR conference on May 10, and our hybrid event in Toronto on Oct. 6- 7.
Since 2014, we have delivered our school program to more than 30,000 students aged 8-17. We believe Fashion Leaders are Climate Leaders and that through a fun and relatable topic like fashion, students can learn about the climate change.
Our workshops empower the next generation of consumers to make more responsible purchasing decisions when it comes to their clothes.
A free online platform that features hundreds of vetted, credible resources from global organizations that have been summarized and categorized. This is an important time saving resource that includes reports, guidelines, standards, articles, podcasts, case studies and more. We regularly update the Toolkit with new resources.
We believe in the power of real collaboration to address systemic change. As the convenor of the Ontario Textile Diversion Collaborative we brought together multiple stakeholders, each with unique challenges and perspectives, in a collective impact framework to address textile waste diversion, reuse and recycling. Our work continues on a national level, working with apparel brands, retailers, academics, NGOs, policy makers, charities, sorters & graders, exporters, and municipalities to mobilize and accelerate action.
Once you’ve learned something, you can’t unlearn it. Once you see something, you can’t unsee it. Since 2007 we have worked hard to educate industry stakeholders, as well as consumers about the social and environmental impacts of fashion.
In 15 years we have made tremendous progress!

There are many ways to reduce your fashion footprint, beyond the 3R’s of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
