About This Event
Bring your damaged, broken or torn items and see if our Earth Works West Grey master fixers can breathe in new life! No charge; portable items, please.
The group will host a repair cafe 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m on Saturday. People are invited to bring small appliances, toys, clothing, and crockery that is in need of repair. From there, one of eight volunteers who will be on hand will try to fix the item, extending its life and saving it from going to a landfill .
The library has teamed up with Earth Works Grey Bruce, a local group focused on sustainable living and addressing environmental issues.
Anyone planning to bring a broken item that is known to require a rare or specialized part to bring that part along as well. Volunteer fixers may also have the owner of a broken item run out to purchase a required part, if needed.
