Ecosystems acknowledge intersections between connected areas. As a curated consignment retailer, Jess Vaillancourt business (Bee Your Creative Styles) sits at a really interesting intersection between clothing Upcyclers/Recyclers and Vintage Aficionados, as well as other members of the Sustainable Fashion movement. She also provides a physical meeting place in Ottawa's Sandy Hill community for Tuesday Mend Nights. There are very grass roots elements that Jess can speak to about strengthening a community ecosystem. There are also elements at play that impact aspects of our broader ecosystems. This episode was produced by Chris Irwin and features Jeanette Herrle, Murley Herrle-Fanning, and Jesse Hirsh.
