Repair Cafés are community gatherings where fixer volunteers help visitors repair their broken household items. At a typical Repair Cafe, you can expect to see fixing stations for Electronics, Small Appliances, Textile, Jewelry, Woodwork, and Bikes. Open to the public free of charge, Repair Cafes aim to reduce waste, fix the throw-away culture, share repair knowledge and promote an inclusive community.
Repair Cafe Vancouver is set to launch on Aug 24 at Hillcrest Centre, with more monthly events to come.  We welcome tinkerers, knitters of all kinds to join us!  Sign up at www.metrovanrepaircafes.ca/volunteer.  Any questions email volunteer@metrovanrepaircafes.ca or follow us on facebook
