    Repair Cafe at WNC is collaborating on a Make and Mend, with Works-in-Progress (www.works-in-progress.ca) and Our Future First (https://ourfuturefirst.co/initiatives/) on a climate action event.

    The shared event space will be the Dance Studio at WNC,  slightly larger than our usual space.

    A MIDI-Repair Cafe will have a reduced number of fixer tables for Household and Appliances, Computers and Electronics, and Jewellery, while Make and Mend will offer to assist participants with hand sewing repairs and to make bags out of discarded t-shirts. WNC sewing machines will be in use by Make and Mend, and one additional machine will be provided for RCT Sewing fixers.  Outdoor Bicycle repairs will take place just outside of the room.

    There will be a refreshment table for beverages, snacks and fruit.
