Give what you can, take what you need!
Date: Saturday, August 22nd
Time: 12 – 4 p.m.
Location: Solidarity (King’s) Square, Saint John
This event follows the last free fair that offered free services: from community members to community members! This is mutual aid in action: a network of care and generosity to meet the immediate needs of our neighbors.
This event will feature several services: counselors, hair cuts, repair (clothing, kitchen appliances, and electronics), nail care, and more! We will have food, live music, art, games, and other groups present to share information and skills that are available across our community.
To volunteer your time or offer a service, please fill out this form.
A community assembly is a local, directly democratic
body that brings together people to collectively discuss the problems they face, shared interests that are threatened, and actions they can take – together.
Through this, we aim to build trust, talk about direct action, create flexible experiments and build collective power that we wouldn’t otherwise have as individuals.

Solidarity, Not Charity
The Community Free Fair serves as a model for a society outside of one based on constant extraction from the earth and violence against most of it’s inhabitants. It is based on the principles of Mutual Aid: where people work with nature and with each other in a relationship of shared responsibility. Mutual aid creates networks of care and generosity to meet the immediate needs of our neighbors.
The Community Free Fair has no strings attached: everyone is welcome. We also welcome anyone who wants to contribute to future events or wants to bring more ideas of mutuality into their own communities!
