Toronto Environmental Alliance: Evergreen Brick Works

Evergreen Brick Works is a community space nestled in Toronto's Don Valley, featuring walking trails, parkland, and event spaces that host a range of cultural and food festivals, and community programs throughout the year. The weekly Farmers Market and special events attract over 200,000 visitors over the year. Evergreen Brick Works introduced reusable dishes - plates, bowls, utensils and cups - in partnership with Muuse for use by food and drink vendors. Starting at the Saturday Farmers Market in fall 2023, the program has expanded to a number of other events, including a craft beer festival and winter markets, avoiding 147,794 single-use items in 2024.
