COLLINGWOOD DOWNTOWN BIA
*************************
The inaugural Collingwood Fashion Week will feature an event to acknowledge the new National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
At the sustainability panel presentation at the Simcoe Street Theatre on Thursday Sept. 30, you will have the opportunity to learn about sustainability and ethical production in fashion and beauty.
You’ll hear from industry leaders as well as a few of our local business owners who are making conscious choices. As this is also the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, you are encouraged to pick up an orange shirt in-store or online from one of our local retailers to support an Indigenous cause close to your heart.
All proceeds from this event will go to the charity ‘Water First’, which helps bring clean water to Indigenous reserves across Canada. Attendees of this event will have a chance to win a Soggy Puffin water bottle which encourages sustainable substitutes to the plastic water bottle. Soggy Puffin is the distributor of Soulbottles whose Canadian collection features two bottles designed by an Indigenous artist.
Make sure to come to this event to learn about sustainability and ethical production in fashion and beauty and support this very important day and charity. The panel event is scheduled on Sept. 30, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. and tickets are $40.
