The goal of their campaign is to sign-up 500 members across four Thingery locations. If you want to see a Thingery in your neighbourhood and access all the great items inside, sign up for a membership! Vancity Credit Union has committed to finance 50% of the initial costs for each Thingery if they can raise the remaining 50%. Each Thingery needs 150 members in order to qualify for financing.

Click on your location below and become a founding member!
Members can borrow sports equipment, woodworking tools, camping gear, and other items that have been donated, or collectively purchased by the co-op. Learn more on the Thingery website.
