I had a blast rummaging through all the clothing, and I ended up picking up this jersey. I also found an instant camera, but I'm docking two stars because it was missing a part--the charger and battery. If you buy electronics (or anything here really), beware. I ended up buying a charger and battery online which pretty much ended up costing as much as what's listed on eBay in USD. Otherwise, not a bad place to burn time and have fun. Now I can rep Canada!

I was so excited to see this brand of thrift store because I had a favorite one as a child, but I…read moresomehow question if they were the same organization/ company. I was equally thrilled to see it in a beautiful old building. And it's three floors of merch, I figured I'd leave with tons. Not so much. Not really the fault of the store that these days most donated clothes are utter trash. I feel sorry for the youngsters these days. When I was in my teens and 20s, not only was thrifting super inexpensive but you'd find such cool stuff. Now it's all the trash that hasn't been sent to the landfill and it is sad. 98% of everything I looked at in tops and dresses was plastic/ polyester. I did find a simple cotton Calvin Klein top for about $10, and one actual vintage dress for about $18. Ties were pricier than in the states. Couldn't quite make out the rhyme or reason on pricing, but there you go. I'll try to remeber to snap my finds with price tags.

The circumstances of this interaction raise significant concerns regarding donor safety and staff conduct on your premises. During the donation process, an Asian male employee became confrontational and aggressive without provocation. He stated that my donation would not be accepted due to my "attitude," despite no inappropriate behavior on my part. The situation escalated rapidly. It is important to note that this was not the first instance in which this employee displayed rude and aggressive behavior. Prior to this incident, I had already observed and experienced unnecessarily hostile conduct from him, which made the escalation during this encounter particularly alarming. The employee removed my donated items from the donation bin and forcefully threw them back into the trunk of my vehicle. He then moved into my personal space in a manner that was physically intimidating. At that point, I felt unsafe remaining in the area. My elderly aunt was present and was visibly distressed by the employee's behavior. Given her age and vulnerability, the situation was particularly concerning. Out of concern for our safety, we immediately returned to our vehicle and left the property. This incident reflects a serious breakdown in appropriate workplace conduct and raises significant concerns regarding staff training, supervision, and enforcement of basic safety standards for members of the public. The behavior exhibited was not merely unprofessional; it was aggressive, intimidating, and created an environment in which I reasonably feared for my personal safety. Employees interacting with donors represent your organization and are entrusted with maintaining a safe and controlled public space. When that standard is not met--particularly through repeated hostile conduct--the risk to customers and donors becomes unacceptable. No individual should feel threatened, physically intimidated, or compelled to leave your property out of fear, especially during a routine and voluntary donation process. The presence of an elderly individual during this incident further heightened the seriousness of the situation. Vulnerable members of the public must be able to rely on the expectation that your premises are safe and that staff behavior will not place them at risk. I am requesting that this matter be reviewed at the corporate level and that appropriate steps be taken to ensure donor safety and prevent similar occurrences. I would appreciate written confirmation outlining how this concern has been addressed. Please contact me at .... should further information be required. I trust this matter will be handled with the seriousness it warrants. I look forward to your response within 10-14 business days.

I have self declared myself a thrift shop master! But I…read morehave a problem with this value Village location. I was in today looking for mason jars for some silly craft thing that I have pin on Pinterest and Pinterest is only good if you actually try something. So out I go thrift shopping, and bought absolutely nothing from this location! Everything is over priced here! I want down the street to a different charity second hand store and got mansion jars for 50cents! with lids! Not 2$ like value Village... I could have gone to the C-tire and got bran new ones 10 for 15$. I'm consistently disappointed with this location. Now that I have found my items for my Pinterest activity at other thrift shop I can start it and when I fails maybe I'll donate to this location for a coupon to use at the other location.

I'm a huge proponent of volunteering. Whether it's a one-off event or a steady, long term…read morecommitment to a specific organization, I believe that volunteering in any capacity is a rewarding and enriching experience. However, I find that a lot of people approach it from the standpoint of "unpaid work"; simply building up your resume and accumulating hours towards a specific career path. I think that sometimes people forget that it is possible to gear your volunteer hours towards your own interests. There is nothing that says that you can't have a kick ass time while gaining some valuable and marketable experience. All you really have to do is find something that jives with your passions, and a great way to do that is by going to Volunteer Calgary. So far, my experience with Volunteer Calgary has been limited to their website, but that's due to the fact that I've never felt the need to contact their offices; they make finding volunteer opportunities in Calgary and area literally as easy as a click of the mouse. Simply hit the large "Volunteer Opportunities" button on their homepage, and you're connected to a database where you can search openings at specific organizations, by area of interest, or by type of organization. These searches can be further broken down by age group, location, and level of commitment, etc. It's a great way to get information about what's going on in your community, as well as to connect with specific activities that suit your needs and desires. Once you find a posting that speaks to you - and they say a lot - just apply to the particulars in the "Contact" section and wait for someone to get back to you; simple as that. And don't forget that that's only one facet of this nonprofit; Volunteer Calgary also runs a number of different programs and works in conjunction with a vast network of member organizations. Check them out for their resource library, and leadership opportunities too!

Some lovely runners, small and large carpets are here, from $400 - $15,000. Downstairs there are always some fine discounted rugs as well, and on both floors much Indian furniture that may complement your carpet choice.
