About this Event

Due to the size of the venue, we will be offering limited appointments and drop-ins.

Items being repaired this month:

✔ Clothing items + textiles (rips, tears, etc.)

✔ Bicycles (repairs, assessments or a tune-up)

✔ Small appliances (toasters, coffee makers, blenders, etc.)

X Zipper repair - zipper assessment only

X Hemming and alteration services are not provided.

Please note:

Only one repair appointment per person and one item per appointment.
Additional items will be added to the drop-in queue.
Items for repair will be assessed at check-in.
Not all repairs may be possible in the time permitted but we will do our best.
If we're not able to fix an item, an expert will be happy to provide guidance on next steps.
Please ensure that all items are clean and free of dirt, grease and insects.

This event is funded with assistance from Metro Vancouver.
