♻️ Repair Café on September 9th |

Throw it away? No way. Fix it at the Repair Café! Repair Cafés are an international concept that has come to the National Capital Region with the goal of reducing landfill waste, teaching new skills, and building community! Our past Repair Cafés have been very successful with volunteers fixing dozens of items and sharing their knowledge around everything from darning socks to re-wiring kettles. This event is sponsored by the Dream Community Foundation and hosted by Zibi.
Join us on Saturday, September 9th
at La Ruelle, 15 rue Jos-Montferrand, Gatineau, PQ from 10am until 3pm! |
