Repair Cafe Lunenburg County

We are so proud to have participated in the Canadian Repair Convention, held in Halifax last week! Etienne Baqué represented our team as a panelist in the "Community Empowerment and Repair" discussion. The two-day event was an excellent opportunity for sharing of ideas and resources, discussing barriers and opportunities for the repair movement, as well as networking with other repair enthusiasts from across the country! Time well spent. 👨‍🔧🛠️👩‍🔧

The sessions were recorded and are available to view here:

Did you know that the Canadian Repair Convention is happening in Halifax next week?? The Convention is a national gathering dedicated to exploring the growing Right to Repair movement in Canada. Bringing together scholars, policymakers, industry professionals, community repairers, and students, it provides a forum for discussing how repair affects sustainability, innovation, consumer rights, and economic resilience.

We are very proud to have Etienne Baqué, one of our key Repair Café organizers, participate in the "Community Empowerment and Repair" panel.

There's still time to get tickets (May 15 is the last day)!

On Saturday May 2nd, our springtime Repair Cafe was held at The Mahone Bay Centre and was a great success! Here are the stats:
* over 137 items fixed (out of 152)
* 51 guests with items to be fixed (and more guests who dropped by to see what it's all about)

We continue to be amazed in seeing such an amazing turnout at these events, and the great interest in prolonging the life of beloved items.

We are taking a little break over the summer, but we'll back in full force -- with three events planned for the fall already! Follow our page and/or see nsrepairs.ca to see the updates!

An adhesive/glue for every purpose 💪💪💪
Make sure you choose the right one depending on the material, weight and usage conditions!

Know your glues so the things you stick to each other stay stuck.

Last week's Repair Cafe at Riverport & District Community Centre was an overwhelming success! While we continue to struggle getting an accurate count of number of attendees at the events, we estimate ~150 items were fixed; our knife/blade sharpening volunteer alone reported to have processed over 110 items! We are extremely happy to see such a great turnout and community coming together with interest in getting their items repaired. Thank you to Food Vibes for providing the refreshments!
Details on the next Repair Cafe happening in Mahone Bay will be out soon!
