                                      Renting versus Purchasing Materials

                                      As we scale the Timeraiser, we are super concerned about keeping costs as low as possible. One of our biggest expenses include:
                                      • Renting tables & chairs + linens
                                      • Printing posters on foam core
                                      This exercise is meant to help us better understand the implications if we purchased our tables and chairs for all the Timeraiser events that happen in Ontario & Montreal.
