Toronto Ethical Fashion Community Meetup & Swap!
Threading Change invites youth leaders, fashion professionals, creatives, sustainability advocates, and community members to gather during Toronto Climate Week for an evening of connection, conversation, and collective action at the intersection of fashion and climate justice.
Through intentional networking, creative conversation, and a community clothing swap, attendees will have the opportunity to exchange ideas, share resources, and reimagine what a climate-resilient fashion future can look like. Whether you are a student, designer, entrepreneur, activist, policymaker, or simply passionate about sustainable fashion, this gathering aims to foster authentic relationships and inspire collective action beyond the event itself.
Guests will leave with:
New cross-sector connections within Toronto’s sustainable fashion and climate ecosystem
Fresh perspectives on circular fashion and youth-led systems change
Opportunities for collaboration and community engagement
Inspiration to participate in building a more equitable and climate-conscious industry
The event format will include open networking, facilitated conversations, and interactive community engagement.
