The 2017 EcoLiving Fair + Workshops presented by Peavey Mart is back for its sixth year in Red Deer! The event will be held on one day this year - Saturday, March 25th, 2017 at Red Deer College from 10am - 6pm.
The event features the return of crowd favorites like the Repair Café, Electric Vehicle Showcase, and the Seedy Saturday Seed Swap. New this year is a Solar PV Tour with Sunfind Solar Products of local homes and buildings using and producing renewable energy. This is happening the day before the Fair (March 24) to help build more attention and interest for people to attend! See the full details HERE.
We're happy to have the Red Deer College as venue sponsor again with the Fair taking place in the Cenovus Learning Common at RDC (east trades wing). In recent years, the Red Deer EcoLiving Fair has showcased dozens of exhibitors providing local food, products, and services related to sustainable living, and welcomed visitors from all across Central Alberta. This exciting event has become well known for knowledge sharing and practical skill building in support of the local economy and environmental initiatives throughout the region.
