Initiatives of Change will be opening its beautiful centre and gardens to the public for our first annual Sustainability Fair. This event coincides with our first planting day for the new Armagh organic community garden, and the Public Showcase of our 2018 Sustainable Impact Mentoring (SIM) Program - a 7-month program where small teams develop unique local projects to solve community needs. See more about the Sustainability Fair in the news post here. 

Entry will be by gold coin donation at the door.
