Caledon residents, it’s time again to gather your broken toasters, chipped mugs and torn pant hems! Caledon Reduces (a busy subcommittee of ecoCaledon) will run its fourth FREE Repair Café, offering you the opportunity to give your household items a second life and support a circular economy in Caledon.
April is Earth Month and April 22nd is Earth Day. While there are thousands of ways to celebrate our Earth, we know that to make it meaningful, we are all called on to embrace personal actions of our own. One way is by reducing waste in all its forms, including plastics, food, textiles and e-waste. EcoCaledon’s Repair Café is a perfect event to celebrate simple ways to extend the life of useful items, and keep them from polluting our landfills. And every repair is free thanks to our wonderful qualified volunteer fixers!
What is a Repair Café, you ask? It is a space where you can bring broken items and repair them yourself under the guidance of volunteers. Depending on the nature of the required repair, skilled volunteers may offer to repair an item for you. Repair Cafés promote the philosophy of fixing and reusing items instead of throwing them away. For more information please search online for Just Sayin’ Caledon’s article on Repair Cafés.
