Community Programs

We assist low-income aspiring and emerging entrepreneurs to get their ideas off the ground in their communities. With creativity and meaningful partnerships, there are ways to create quick and affordable vending spaces, which ultimately support low-income entrepreneurs, and our local economies, to flourish. There are no times related to this program. Interested parties should contact us about starting their own.

Scadding Court Community Centre Sewing Hub is a space where sewing and sustainability meet. Many items that can be reused are thrown out every day. To help foster a culture of waste reduction, sharing, repairing and reusing, the City is working with local agencies and non-profit organizations to deliver Community Reduce & Reuse Programs. Scadding Court is proud to partner with the City to provide programming that focuses on sewing and waste reduction that will help to build sustainable communities and reduce the amount waste going to landfill by:

– educating residents about the importance of waste reduction and reuse
– providing opportunities for sharing and repairing
– offering skills training and creating job and economic opportunities
– creating spaces for community members to gather.

SCCC Sewing Hub program is affiliated with Stitchlab.
