Have you heard of Maker House's #CraftChange before? #CraftChange is an initiative in which 2% of all sales are donated to local non-for-profit organizations. And we are excited to say that from the beginning to July to the end of September, Maker House's #CraftChange is supporting Ecology Ottawa, our tree campaign in particular!
Maker House is located on 987 Welling St. West in Hintonburg, beside the LCBO. This store is an 8-month old social enterprise with a curated collection of handmade home and furniture made by over 100 local artisans, from candles to coffee tables. It's a wonderful store to find beautiful home decor gifts for your family and friends, or for yourself!
Tree Ottawa is excited to announce that Maker House's #CraftChange will be sponsoring a tree giveaway in the fall. The more money we get, the more trees we will give away!
This is a wonderful way for you to help support not only Tree Ottawa, but to help support local artisans and local stores. Not to mention you'll be helping us get trees into as many Ottawa citizens' hands as we possibly can!
Maker House's hours are as follows:
Tue-Fri: 11am-7pm Sat: 10am-6pm Sun: 12pm-5pm Mon: Closed

On April 8, we invited members of City Council’s Environment and Climate Change Committee (ECCC) to attend a webinar on incineration.
