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.
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.
Giving Twice with One Donation
At The Depot, we believe community care is reciprocal. Our neighbourhood is strongest when support moves in many directions, and when everyone has a way to contribute. That’s why we’re so grateful for our partnership with Friperie Déjà Vu, a Large Thrift Store on St-Jacques in NDG.
Meet Hamidou!
When Hamidou immigrated to Montreal in 2008, he faced challenges familiar to many newcomers. Although he was a certified accountant in Niger, his credentials weren’t recognized in Quebec.
