We're very excited to have this neighbourhood be the site for one of our first three pilot Thingeries. We have already engaged with local community members through multiple Thingery pop-ups and community meetings.

We will be launching the Kitsilano Thingery branch in early 2018.

Thingery Location

The Kitsilano Thingery will be located outside Delamont Park, close to the corner of 6th Avenue and Arbutus Street. The container will be located just off the Arbutus Greenway at 6th Avenue.

Progress to date:

Community Interest (Approved)

In August of 2016 we conducted an initial community meeting with members of the Kitsilano community.

Site Approval (Approved)

In August 2017, we have received approval from the City of Vancouver for a two year pilot permit for a Thingery in this location.

Co-op Established (Approved)

Once the site is approved, we move forward to establish the local branch. Each Thingery branch is a non-profit co-operative. We work with the local group to establish the rules, leadership and all administrative assets for the local branch.

Build & Inventory (Pending)

Once the local group is established, we help set up the container, the inventory and the inventory management system.

Launch (Pending)

With the container all set up, we help launch the new location. All locations are set up with their own web page and inventory page. The Thingery parent organization takes care of all the ongoing operations (customer support, maintenance and software needs).
