Community Event - Burlington/Oakville - Burlington Clothing Swap 2025
Swap, connect, and make an impact at the Burlington Clothing Swap 2025! Bring your freshly-laundered clothing and find something new-to-you—all while helping reduce textile waste and building a stronger, greener community.
What to bring?
Your family, friends and clean clothing, shoes, hats, and/or accessories to exchange.
How the swap works:
Item drop-off is from 10:00–11:00 AM, with the swap running from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
Each item you bring = 1 ticket
1 ticket = 1 item for you to take home
Any leftover items will be donated to Compassion Society.
Why come?
This isn’t just a swap—it’s a celebration of community and sustainability! Enjoy a fun-filled day with:
- A Clothing Swap
- Eco-Pledge Button Making
- A Kids Area: Leaf tracing, colouring, and a scavenger hunt
- Opportunities to learn about fast fashion’s environmental impact, and ways to move toward a zero waste lifestyle—with helpful local resources on-site.
PLUS: FREE refreshments! (Because swapping is better with snacks.)
Whether you’re clearing out your closet, looking for a fresh new look, or hoping to connect with like-minded neighbours—this event is for you!
