Regenerative Bowen Island

Bring us your broken things! For anything that is not working as well as it could be, we've got a team of talented volunteers who are going to try and fix it. A big thank you to the fixers and menders who will be on site with their tools, lubricants, knitting needles and sewing machines to spruce your stuff up. **New services are being offered this fall!** 🚘 Chris will be changing burnt out vehicle headlamps - bring your own replacement bulb! (Canadian Tire or Lordco are a good place to get this). 🎻 Kori will be restringing instruments from 2-3pm! Please bring your own strings. He can restring acoustic, electric, & classical guitars, banjos, violins, ukuleles, and mandolins. 📿 Jewelry repair by Marysia! (ok not new but kinda special 😉 Please bring your reusable cup for the free tea & coffee to help make this event zero waste - snacks will be available too. Donations to cover lunch for the fix-it team are kindly accepted. If you want to join our team of fixers or help out in other ways on the day of the event, please contact event coordinator Paola: pqualizza"at"gmail.com Every item we can repair instead of throwing away and buying a new one is a win for the environment - and can make our social connections stronger too! Save money, connect with others, and maybe learn a thing or two about repairing your own items at this spring edition of the Fix-It Fair - repair, reinvent, reduce, rethink, respect, reuse, rejoice! Looking forward to seeing you at Cates Hill Chapel on Saturday November 16 from 12-3pm for this special community event! This event is presented by Regenerative Bowen Island and made possible by the volunteer efforts of the organizing and fixing team.
