After more than a two-year gap, the Repair Café is back! This was always one of our favourite events, and now that it's safer to gather again, we are looking forward to getting back into the swing of regular repair events, learning new skills and fixing items that would otherwise have gone in the landfill.
During this 2 hour event, we will have community members on hand who can help you with your items that need fixing. If you have a small appliance or piece of clothing or something else that needs fixing, please bring it in and have it repaired - for free :)
Thanks to our awesome team of volunteer "fixers", more than half of all the broken items that are brought in get repaired! Some of the items that have been repaired in the past are: toaster ovens, curling irons, clocks, lamps, jeans, purses, coats, chairs, radios, microwaves, etc.
We are hosting the Repair Café at Reimagine AND at London Public Library branches! Please carefully note the location of the event you are registering for :)

21st century humans throw away vast amounts of stuff. In fact, Canadians throw away almost 800 kilos of garbage a year - per person! Sometimes things with almost nothing wrong are tossed out since buying new has become cheaper than ever. These things can easily get a new lease of life after a simple repair. The trouble is, lots of us have forgotten that we can repair things ourselves or we no longer know how to do it. Repair Café is part of a global movement to change that!
Interested in being a “fixer”? See here for more details of what that involves and to complete a short volunteer application form.
Reimagine Co is located at 206 Piccadilly St in the heart of downtown London - just west of Richmond Row, next to Kal Tire. We have free parking in front of our building, as well as bike parking, and we're easily accessible by bus and via the TVP.
