Repair Cafés are free community gatherings where people can bring broken items to be repaired with the help of skilled volunteers.

Whether it’s a torn shirt, a malfunctioning blender, or a sentimental piece of jewelry, Repair Cafés offer a chance to fix what’s broken instead of sending it to the landfill. 

Interested in volunteering or simply curious to learn more? Reach out to us or visit The Ottawa Tool Library↗ for details. To learn more about this initiative, go to the 2025 Repair Café series↗ on the City of Ottawa website!
