Did you know that Evergreen Brick Works was Canada’s first large scale community environmental centre? In 2010, Evergreen worked with the city of Toronto to transform a collection of deteriorating heritage buildings into a global showcase for green design.
This April, we’d like to invite you to join us in celebrating a greener and more sustainable future by connecting with our local environmentally conscious community at the Brick Works.
- Shop our Saturday Farmers Market for local, seasonal and artisanal items!
- Join our film screening and panel discussion on the people protecting waterways around the world!

- Experience an immersive installation all about floods at Brick Works!
- An exciting pop up experience with the Ontario Science Centre (more details to come soon)
