One week away from our next Repair Cafe event! This one will be a short but sweet evening at Christie Lees Hall from 4-7pm. We will have a group of skilled volunteers ready to help you try and fix your item. As always this is a free event, and all are welcome to stop in and say hi even if you don't have an item needing repair. We hope to see you there!

PS: Don't forget to vote in the local elections sometime before coming by our event!

This free community event is a great way to learn something new and also meet others who care about keeping things out of our landfills!

We had a blast at our last Repair Cafe Event down at Lakeside! Thanks to all our volunteers and people who came by with an item needing a repair. It was a successful day with 102 items brought in (81% repair success rate)!

Our next event will be in September so stay tuned for updates.

The Rossland Refactory is a community-driven plastics recycling hub based in the Rossland/Trail area, operated by the Kootenay Outdoor and Environmental Learning Society (KOELS). They turn waste into opportunity — collecting, processing, and transforming plastics into useful items, all while supporting hands-on environmental education and local innovation.
We’re excited to have their team on site, showing how repair and recycling work hand in hand to build a more sustainable future. 🌱
Stay tuned for more collaborator spotlights — and see you at the cafe!

Wondering how we fund our events? Recently we received a grant from the Kootenay Co-op, which helped us with our first few events in 2026. We have also been grateful for donations from attendees, and an Osprey Small Neighbourhood Grant in 2025.
