The EXILE Infoshop is a collectively-run, volunteer worker-owned and -operated project organized around the anarchist principles of anti-oppression, equality, community-building, and worker control. We believe in egalitarianism, cooperation and a collective struggle against abuses of power.
In our country’s political capital, of all places, it is absolutely crucial that members of the community have access to alternative media and resources. EXILE serves this need and provides a base and meeting space for local anti-poverty and social justice organizations, in addition to supporting mutual aid and the growth of grassroots community organizing.
The EXILE Infoshop opened MayDay 2007 as Ottawa’s first-ever (that we know of) Infoshop with an actual, physical space. We are a radical and activist resource center, library and bookstore, though we also intend to sell some local art and vegan goodies. We’re working to become a central networking space for local grassroots projects and organizations in the city.
