The marketing activation will run from June 13 to June 15 in the city's trendy Ossington neighborhood. Admission to this experience is free. Mrs. Meyer's Compassion Store will equip visitors with complimentary products from the brand in exchange for performing simple acts of kindness. Attendees can browse the cheerful space while participating in feel-good activities, with the added bonus of a free plant potting workshop on Sunday led by local botanical experts [Thyme Studio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fresh-thyme-market). The Toronto Compassion Store pop-up coincides with a parallel Chicago activation, creating a cross-border celebration of acts of kindness. The compassion-for-products exchange model offers an uplifting twist on traditional sampling events.
