Launched in 2018, in partnership with Dunin-Deshpande Queen’s Innovation Centre and St. Lawrence College Department of Skilled Trades and Tourism, No.9 Gardens is a hands-on teaching facility created to empower youth to lead a revolution in building resilient communities, utilizing the Nine Pillars of Sustainable Design developed by No.9. The festival is organized by a team of passionate and dedicated youth, to create an inclusive space that fosters inspiration, creativity, and collaboration between the change-makers of the next generation. Our mission is to showcase that living sustainably and fulfilling one’s passions and pleasures can coexist, and to inspire and educate our community to make sustainable choices in their everyday lives.
