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.
Thank you to Affinity Credit Union for the continued support to spread Repair Cafes across the province!
