Past Events

Join us this Thursday, November 30th, at the Bullring from 10 am to 2 pm for our UofG Free Store's first-ever mug swap.  Bring your clean, crack-free ceramic mugs (no travel mugs, please!) to swap for a new-to-you mug.  You can also donate mugs without swapping them, so if you want to make some room in your mug cupboard, now's your chance. Want to see other swap-style events? Stay tuned, as we have several in the works for the winter semester. Questions? Email sustainability@uoguelph.ca or direct message on Instagram at @uofgfreestore.
