The Bus Stop

The Bus Stop Part bookstore, part makerspace, part community classroom, the Bus Stop is a place for people who lo We held a soft open event in June that was a great success!

The Bus Stop is a collaboration between The MakerBus Collaborative and Bread and Roses Books! Located in the LIFESPIN building, across from Western Fair Farmers Market, we are a bookstore and makerspace that strives to make a difference in our community. The local community indicated an interest in reading groups, craft and technology workshops, and is excited by the prospects of a used bookstore

in Old East Village. Watch our community calendar at http://www.thebusstop.ca/ and stay tuned for updates on coming events! Cheers,

Kim, Ryan, Beth, Chris, and Leia!
