"From clocks to mixers, from radios to jackets, almost anything that could fit through the door was examined, diagnosed, and put back in working order. While the volunteers can't tackle anything too out there or too large, they make sure to stitch, staple, and suture what they can mend. "This year, Keegan Story and the rest of the volunteer handymen and women were happy to help fix 80 per cent of the items brought to them. " 'Electronics and appliances are one of our busier areas,' shared Story. 'Today they fixed a kid's toy DVD player, a vacuum cleaner and a few other miscellaneous electronics.' "One of the special booths at this event was the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PinballMachine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PinballMachine</a> corner. Kids were infatuated as local Pinball Wizard/technician Darwin Gooding built one of his '70s machines and let them play with the finished product."Other interesting fixes were computers, mechanical clocks, clothing, and just about anything and everything else that Swift Current brought out. "The goal of the Repair Café is to mend items that normally would go in the trash. Be it their disposable nature, or the unrealistic monetary nature of certain fixes, this bi-yearly event unshackles practicality in favour of keeping what is old, new, and what is broken, pristine.

'We've got a lot of people here that are handy that just like to offer their support,' said Story.

This movement, which started about 10 years ago – but stalled during the Covid-19 pandemic – is gathering pace again as a kickback against the perils of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/overconsumption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#overconsumption</a> and as a response to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/environmental" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#environmental</a> and cost-of-living crises."Tomorrow afternoon, in an industrial unit in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Dublin12" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dublin12</a>, a repair cafe will take place, a community event in which a group of volunteer fixers will repair everything from broken toasters, kettles, coffee machines and air fryers to garments needing new zips or buttons."The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DublinMakerRepairCafe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DublinMakerRepairCafe</a> in Unit 2B, Motor City, Kylemore Road, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Dublin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dublin</a> 12, is one of a number of repair cafe gatherings held throughout the island.

'I’d do a repair cafe every weekend if I had enough volunteers. I can’t meet the demand from libraries, county councils and community groups,' says Jeffrey Roe, a software and hardware engineer who also runs Tog Hackerspace, which hosts the D12 repair cafes four times a year."He says there are three types of people who turn up with broken items to be repaired for free at these community events." 'There are the environmentally conscious people who want to get things fixed rather than consume more valuable resources by purchasing new things,' says Roe. 'There are people who want things fixed for sentimental reasons – say a food mixer their mother used or a toy they played with that they want to give to their children. And then, there are the cost-conscious people who find the cost of getting something new too high.'

The Mid-Scarborough Hub Repair Café was launched 18 months ago by Krissan Veerasingam and Fizza Khalid, a couple on a mission to make Scarborough a kinder, greener place.They both have day jobs – Mr. Veerasingam is a software developer, Ms. Khalid is a health and safety adviser – but volunteering is a big part of their lives. They founded the Scarborough Environmental Association (SEA), a non-profit organization that hosts events like pollinator plant giveaways, clothing swaps, sewing workshops and park clean-ups. The Repair Café is a key SEA initiative, focused on supporting low-income and historically disenfranchised communities. (Repair Cafés originated in Amsterdam in 2009 and there are now more than 3500 of them around the world.)"Read more: <a href="https://www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/globe-wealth/article-how-a-scarborough-couple-is-building-community-one-repair-at-a-time/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/globe-wealth/article-how-a-scarborough-couple-is-building-community-one-repair-at-a-time/</a>Link to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ontario" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ontario</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RepairCafes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RepairCafes</a>: <a href="https://repaircafetoronto.ca/upcoming-events/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://repaircafetoronto.ca/upcoming-events/</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SolarPunkSunday</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RepairCafesONT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RepairCafesONT</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RightToRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RightToRepair</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RepairCafe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RepairCafe</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SolarPunk</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BuildingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BuildingCommunity</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReduceReuseRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ReduceReuseRepair</a>

You know, the one with the busted pull chain and persnickety cord your college roommate gave you? Yeah, that one. Do you think it might be time to get that thing fixed?"What if I told you there is a place you can go to have your lamps rewired, your vintage denim mended, your bicycle tires patched, your weed wackers restrung and your great-grandmother’s heirloom necklace soldered — all for free?"Sounds too good to be true, right? Not so! On Sunday, April 6, volunteers and staff with Arcata’s Recreation Division will host the first Humboldt Repair Café, a free event at the Arcata Community Center where people can take their broken stuff (electronics, clothing, jewelry, furniture, crockery, small appliances, etc.) to be repaired by local fixers. If you can carry it, chances are, they can fix it. "'The rule is it has to be small enough that you can carry it in by yourself,' volunteer coordinator Wendy Ring told the Outpost. 'We won’t be able to take in refrigerators and things like that. We’ll have a retired electrician to work with smaller electrical appliances. We also have some IT specialists to help people with their computers. We have experts at putting fancy patches on clothes and another person for bicycle repairs. This is our first Repair Café, but we have quite a variety of people!'"The upcoming event is part of an international movement, which originated in Amsterdam in 2009, to combat '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ThrowawayCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ThrowawayCulture</a>,' promote <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sustainability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sustainability</a> and teach people practical repair skills. 'We just bring our skills and fix stuff together,' Ring said."'The Repair Café movement is trying to change consumer culture and say, ‘No, we can’t just throw things away because they don’t just disappear,’ she continued. 'This is a way of making the things that we have last longer and teaching people how to fix things by watching our volunteers as they’re doing repairs. It’s also community building, which is something that we really need right now.'"While the event is free, volunteers may request a donation if they need extra materials for repair. In some cases, it may take volunteers a little longer to diagnose the issue and get the parts needed for the fix."'If we don’t have the part on hand, we may ask you to come back next month,' Ring said, adding that she hopes to host the event once a month. 'Sometimes, it’s going to be a multi-step repair. We do have some people who have 3D printers who will be able to make parts for people. … We’ll also have little handbells around, and when a repair is made, we’ll ring the bell and have a mini celebration.'"Asked what she would be taking to the Repair Café, Ring said she has a Kindle that needs fixing, some clothes her dog has chewed on and a jacket with a broken zipper. 'I put a collection of beautiful beach pebbles in my jacket pocket, and I’ve never been able to unzip it,' she said. 'That was a year ago. I can sew a little bit, but I can’t do zippers!'"Cullen Groom, recreation supervisor for the City of Arcata’s environmental services department, is helping to support the program on behalf of the city, which is allowing the Repair Café to use the community center’s senior room free of charge."FMI: <a href="https://lostcoastoutpost.com/2025/mar/26/repair-cafe/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://lostcoastoutpost.com/2025/mar/26/repair-cafe/</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RepairCafesCalifornia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RepairCafesCalifornia</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SolarPunkSunday</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RepairCafes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RepairCafes</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RepairReuseRecycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RepairReuseRecycle</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BuildingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BuildingCommunity</a>
