A Repair Cafe is a pop-up, one day event where the public can bring in household items to be fixed for free by volunteers. With the help of volunteers that will be offering their knowledge and skills, Repair Cafés encourage us to consider repairing items rather than throwing them away. 

On October 22nd, Saskatchewan will have in-person events in Yorkton, Saskatoon, and Estevan as well as a virtual event, all presented by Affinity Credit Union. The Virtual Repair Café will be a zoom event where volunteers will give advice and instructions to help anyone in the world tackle repairing their broken items.

If you are unsure if your item is a fit, get in touch and we will try to find a volunteer to help you out.

IN-PERSON

  • Walk-ins welcome but appointments will be prioritized over walk-ins, so book ahead to avoid waiting.

VIRTUAL

  • Appointments are required for the virtual event. We'll send you a zoom link a day or two before the event that you can use at your appointment time to meet with a Repair Coach who will give you advice on how to fix your item.

Although there is no deadline for booking an appointment, we recommend booking by October 10th to ensure we have a volunteer that has the expertise you need.

Register here to volunteer as a repair coach for the In-person or Virtual events.

If you'd like to host a Repair Café in your city or town, contact SWRC and we can provide resources and advice!

We want to thank Repair Café International and the Fixit Clinic for resources and inspiration and Affinity Credit Union for being our Presenting Sponsor.
