In our efforts to create a more holistic circular economy narrative, the Share Reuse Repair Initiative is proud to host the Squaring the Circle dialogue series to highlight on-the-ground stories that enrich the narrative of the next economy. A key part of our organizational mission and the JCRT program, these dialogues aim to engage our community in conversations related to the circular economy by focusing on topics they care about and opening up the conversation to include their interests, values, lived experience, cultural practices, and traditions.

Watch now!

Inflation and economic recessions place strain on our wallets, but sharing, reuse, and repair can help relieve that pressure. Join the Share Reuse Repair Initiative (SRRI) as we dig into how the circular economy can provide the means for people to save money while also reducing their impact on the planet. This public dialogue features three panelists: Tonny Colyn, (The Salvation Army Thrift Store - Canada), Sam Kashani (Too Good to Go - Canada), Paula Booker (Kickstand Bikes and Vancouver Community Bike shop Network (VCBN)).
