Thrift is thriving in Alberta, enabling Goodwill Industries of Alberta to
make a difference, strengthening communities and lives, through the power of work and the dignity of a
job.
To celebrate the thrift community, and individuals with disabilities across the capital region, for the
second year in a row Goodwill is hosting the Goodwill Fashion Show on Whyte Avenue in Old
Strathcona from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. This outdoor event will take place in the Goodwill Whyte Avenue
parking lot at 10110 82 Ave NW. Models will be made up volunteers from Goodwill’s Mission Impact
program, a program specializing in finding work opportunities and job training for those with barriers or
disabilities, as well as special appearances by Kello Inclusive models who also star on the CBC hit TV
show ‘PUSH’. Kello Inclusive is a disability focused media company, demonstrating strength and beauty
of disability.
These models will “Work the Runway” showcasing a variety of styles from Canadian tuxedos to 80s
vintage that can be found at your local thrift store. With a live DJ on-site, and patio season in full effect,
Whyte Ave will be the place to be!
This event is an opportunity for Goodwill’s Mission Impact participants to express themselves, be
creative, and show the world how second-hand clothing is a perfect outlet for self-expression!
Experience Edmonton’s diversity and the multitude of talented and remarkable individuals that form the
fabric of our beloved city through this event and Goodwill’s collaboration with Kello Inclusive. This
extraordinary event showcases stars from CBC’s sensational series PUSH, making it an unmissable affair
that captures the vibrant spirit of our community.
For everyone attending, we encourage you to bring at least one item for donation, as you will be making
an impact on those with a disability to find and gain meaningful employment.
