Halifax Repair Café is a free, community-powered event where broken things get a second chance. Bring your torn clothing, wobbly furniture, or small appliance that has stopped working, and our volunteer fixers will work with you, side by side, to figure out what's wrong and get it running again.
We believe that fixing things is good for the planet, good for your wallet, and good for the soul. Every repair means one less thing in the landfill — and one more skill in your back pocket. Whether you're here to save a favourite item, learn how to darn a sock, or just see how a toaster actually works, there's a seat for you at the table.
No appointment, no cost, no judgment — just bring your item and your curiosity. We can't fix everything, but we'll always give it a good try (and a good chat) along the way.
The Halifax Repair Cafés happen monthly at the Keshen-Goodman Library during our pilot run. Check our calendar for upcoming dates. Repair Cafes happen all around the world. Check the web for other locations and community run groups!
