Our next repair café is coming up: Call to fixers!
Published on December 5th 2025
We're currently organizing our next repair café event! It'll take place in Riverport NS, on March 7th 2026, from 9am to noon. More details about the event coming soon.
Finding fixers is a very important part of organizing repair cafés. We will reach out to those who helped us at the last November 15th Brigewater event and will be very grateful if they choose to participate to this upcoming event as well.
However, if we want to make repair cafés sustainable over the long term for everyone involved in making them happen, we need to increase our capacity by growing our list of volunteers. We're very happy that many people already reached out to us, telling us that they want to help with event organizing and execution, this is great!
This means that we also need to grow our list of fixers. So if you have a particular skill that you can use to fix something and you wish to participate to our next repair café (or a future one), please let us know by sending us an email at contact@nsrepairs.ca or by sending us a message via our "Repair Café Lunenburg County" Facebook group.
Thank you 🙂

What's a repair café?
A repair café is an event where people come to meet and have some of their belongings fixed.
Repair cafés are generally run by volunteers. Some of them are the fixers: they are the ones with a specific skill that they've developed over the years (through a hobby or through their professinal life). They are the ones helping guests to mend their items.
And yes, there's usually coffee (or tea) served at a repair café!
