Events › Repair Café

A Repair Café is an event where people can bring a variety of household items to be fixed. From bicycle chains to bracelet clasps to torn pants, volunteer fixers are available to help repair* your item free of charge, extending its life. Register to reserve your spot.

Each item repaired at a Repair Café is:

• One less item wasted
• One less item purchased
• One more proud fixer
• One more smiling face

In partnership with York Region and NewMakeIt. For more information and repair guidelines please visit york.ca/RepairCafe.

Items not fixed:

• Broken zippers
• Hems and alterations
• Gas-powered machinery (chainsaws, lawnmowers, snow blowers)
• Items containing hazardous waste (gas, oil, chemicals, pesticides, etc.)
• Large kitchen appliances
• Single serve coffee machines (Keurig, Nespresso, etc.)
• Sewing machines

*If you know your repair will require replacement parts (e.g. bicycle tire tube, buttons, etc.) please bring the parts with you.
