Event Details for the Principal's Wellness Wednesdays - Repair and Repurpose

The Principal's Office at Lakeshore Campus, in partnership with the Human Resources and Organizational Effectiveness Team, is excited for the Employee Wellness Series for all Humber staff.

The workshop will explore the link between living sustainability and health/well-being and is in partnership with the Office of Sustainability as part of Humber Earth Month. The fashion industry is the second most polluting industry in the world. Repairing and repurposing your old clothing is a sustainable option that can also add some flare to your wardrobe. This facilitator-led session will introduce you to mending; by using simple hand stitching, garments can last longer, be stronger, and bring you more joy!

Using three basic stitches for construction and decoration, you will practice together and go over the next steps for anyone looking to dive deeper into mending.
