Shaped by Community: Participant-Led Programming at The Depot
At The Depot, some of our most meaningful programs are participant-led, and have have grown from creating space for participants to share what they already carry with them — their knowledge, traditions, and lived experiences.

Empty Bowls 2026: Back at Last (and Sweeter Than Ever)
There are moments when a space feels especially alive, when the energy is palpable; conversations overlap in a lively hum, and you can feel something meaningful unfolding in real time. This year’s Empty Bowls event was exactly that kind of moment.
Why Community Organizations are Mobilizing — And Why It Matters
From March 23 to April 2, community organisations across Quebec are mobilising to highlight a long-standing reality: chronic underfunding. In solidarity with 1,600 organizations across the province, The Depot hosted a letter-writing campaign to amplify community voices.
Support The Community Sector
Between March 23 and April 2, Community organizations across Quebec are mobilizing to speak out against chronic underfunding as needs continue to grow and teams are pushed to their limits. This movement is calling for adequate, sustained funding and recognition of the essential role these organizations play in our social fabric.
Shaping Community, One Bowl at a Time
At The Depot’s Empty Bowl’s Event, a single handmade bowl connects many people: the potter who shaped it, the person who brings it home, and the community members who benefit from the event.
