Saturday, October 10 • 10 AM - 2 PM
1525 Princess Patricia Way, Ottawa, ON
"Throw it away? No way! Fix it at the Repair Café!
Join us on Saturday, October 10th, 2026 at the Horticultural Building at Lansdowne Park (1525 Princess Patricia Way, Ottawa) between 10am and 2pm.
Repair Cafés are opportunities for all #Ottawa & area residents to feel purpose and belonging – whether as a visitor or volunteer – to save money, learn new skills and foster a culture of repair! #RepairCafés directly divert items from our local landfills and reduce our environmental impact, while allowing our community to engage in accessible climate action!
Repair Cafés are an international concept that has come to the National Capital Region with the goal of reducing landfill waste, teaching new skills, and building community!
Our past Repair Cafés have been very successful with volunteers fixing dozens of items and sharing their knowledge around everything from darning socks to re-wiring kettles.
It's first-come, first-served, so please be prepared for the chance of extended wait times. Though we work as quickly and efficiently as we can, the popularity of these events is increasing and we can never tell what kind of wait there may be for us to see your item. We ask for your patience and kindness - remember, we are all on this repair mission together! :)
This event is held in collaboration with the the City of Ottawa and is FREE OF CHARGE. This listing is for information purposes only. All registration occurs onsite. You DO NOT HAVE TO REGISTER via Eventbrite, but a donation to support these great initiatives is always appreciated and helps cover expenses for volunteers. Note that if you kindly donate it does not mean you get to skip the line or show up as we are closing down with the expectation that someone will see your item.
Support provided from EPRA enables us to safely recycle any items that are not able to be repaired at the Repair Café.This event is free of charge thanks to support by City of Ottawa."

Sehr informativer Überblick von @nic u.a. zum Einsatz von #KI in #repairCafes und zu den ökologischen und sozialen Aspekten ihres Einsatzes generell. https://youtu.be/RUyJyWmRmKI?si=4_vGXox7rfesoeG3
Konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen (samt #OpenSource und #Commoning) und kritische Fragestellungen gibt es auch. Spannender Spagat zwischen praktischer #Suffizienz und #Solarpunk 👍🖖

CEC's Environmental Hub
1219 State Street
Santa Barbara, CA, 93101 United States
"Join us for #RepairCafeSantaBarbara, a completely free, community-powered event where volunteers help fix broken items instead of sending them to the landfill. Bring up to two items — such as clothing, electronics, bikes, furniture, toys, small appliances, or knives for sharpening — and work alongside skilled fixers to bring them back to life.
"This is not a drop-off service; you’ll collaborate directly with a volunteer who will assess your item, guide you through the repair process, and share practical skills along the way. Open to the public and designed to empower you to repair your favorite items, this is a hands-on, educational experience rooted in sustainability and community connection. Interested in getting involved? Contact [email protected] to volunteer your skills, attend future events, or simply help us spread the word!
"This event is part of the Community Environmental Council's A Year of Active Hope, a series of free events hosted at our Environmental Hub to unite the community and create space for courage, connection, and change."
