This is Port Coquitlam’s 4th Repair Café. Repair Cafés are one-day events where the community can get expert help to repair household items for free. Tools, materials and expert advice are provided and opportunities can include repairing bicycles, jewellery, electronics, appliances, furniture and toys, along with sewing and clothing alterations. The program is part of the City’s waste diversion efforts and aims to find innovative ways to reduce the amount of waste going to the landfill each year. The objectives include encouraging a culture of re-use and repair and providing opportunities for intergenerational knowledge-sharing, and community building. The City of Port Coquitlam is currently hosting Repair Cafés once a month.
