Join us for the Wilderness Union Gear Swap & Spring Cleaning Event at MEC on Queens Street Win Toronto!
It's the perfect time to refresh your outdoor gear collection as we gear up for spring adventures. Whether you're looking to trade, get information, or find gently used outdoor equipment, this event has something for everyone. Bring your lightly used gear—clothing, backpacks, tents, sleeping bags, and more—and swap it for something new (to you). Plus, take the opportunity to spring clean your closet and gear storage to make room for fresh items for your next adventure.
This event is also a great chance to meet fellow outdoor enthusiasts, get expert advice, and learn about the latest in gear and outdoor essentials from MEC’s knowledgeable staff.
All Wilderness Union Members also get 15% off almost all items in store!
14:00 - Wilderness Union will have set up upstairs at MEC on Queens Street in Toronto.
14:00 - 17:00 - Come to swap gear, get information or just hang out.
17:00 - Event finishes

You should also download the What3words app - this makes it easy to share and find locations in the unlikely event that you get lost.
Bring any gear you are interested in swapping with others, donating or getting information on.

As we strive to form a deeper connection with the land, we have much to learn from these communities. You can use the Native Land map to learn more about these areas.
Toronto has a particularly long and varied indigenous history, groups who maintain connections to the land include:
