On September 27th, the Convent Glen Orleans Wood Environment Committee will be hosting their second Repair Cafe at the Orleans United Church, from 2 PM to 5PM.
Repair Cafes are free, community-led events where volunteer fixers and menders assist other members of the community with repairing household items such as small appliances, textiles, electronics, furniture, toys, etc. Repair Cafes are open to everyone and are a wonderful place to share skills and knowledge, keep broken items out of landfills and build community. There are thousands of these Repair Cafes all over the world. In addition to the repairs, visitors will be able to have complementary tea, coffee and snacks.
The committee is in need of repairers and menders for the Repair Cafe. They are hoping to find community members who are able to fix bikes, clothing and textiles, and small appliances or other household items. A bonus would be someone who can fix computers, instruments, wooden objects, toys or jewellery. This year, they are also interested in including a knife sharpener.
If you are interested in volunteering as a repairer, please an email to:
Thank you.
