Repair Café
When:
April 05 - 10:00am - 02:00pm
Where: The 55 Activity Centre
A Repair Café event is designed for the community to meet and bring their broken possessions to be fixed by a group of local volunteers. It’s about repairing together, learning from each other, and promoting a more sustainable approach to our belongings. Plus, it’s free of charge!
Need something fixed? This Repair Café will have fixers who can help with the following areas/items:
- Sewing and mending clothes, patching holes and tears, sewing on buttons, and restitching
- Bike repairs and tune-ups
- Furniture repairs
- Small appliances and electronics
- Eyecare fixes
- Jewelry repairs
- General carpentry
Please ensure that the clothes you bring are clean. Our sewing team is always in high demand, so we kindly ask that you limit yourself to three textile or clothing items. Please be reminded that you are expected to stay while your item is being repaired.

A big thank you to the three wonderful volunteers who helped me out on Saturday May 6,2023. They exceeded all expectations and then some. I had a coat remade into a jacket, two pair of pants hemmed and one pair of slacks repaired ( broken zipper, torn pockets etc). Words cannot express how grateful I am. These clothing items have been sitting in my closet for over seven years and now are completely wearable.
Kindest regards

What a wonderful idea!! I am an older single female that does occasionally need a handyman/woman for small tasks of which I have no skill. Prime example: I pulled the wire to unplug my iron and it started sparking. I would have thrown the iron out however found someone to replace the plug, good as new for another twenty years :)
