SilentbookclubYQR will be coming to our green patch. There's no assigned reading. All readers are welcome- ebooks, audiobooks, textbooks, comic books... it's BYOBook. Their events are free and support local businesses. Friends and strangers gather at a set time and location, order food or drinks, share what they're reading, and settle in for an hour of silent, sustained reading. At the end of the hour, attendees can socialize- or not!

Come join us on August 14th from 10 am to 1 pm, as we host our Green patch Garden Harvest,  located just behind the Dr. John Archer Library at the University of Regina!

This event is all about bringing people together to celebrate the power of sustainable, community-grown food. Over the past 14 years, we've been committed to growing a variety of fresh, pesticide-free vegetables, and now it's time to harvest them and share the love. All of the produce we collect will be donated to the YWCA and Carmichael Outreach, helping to provide healthy, environmentally friendly food to those in need in our community.
