The Town of Aurora and York Region are partnering to host a free Repair Cafe on March 28, 2026, to help residents fix broken belongings. The event will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Aurora Family Leisure Complex in Aurora, Ontario.
Skilled volunteers will be available to help people fix various items such as small appliances, bicycle chains, and other household goods. This program is designed to help residents save money while reducing the amount of waste sent to local landfills.
Anyone interested in attending must register in advance through NewMakeIt to secure a spot for their item. While the help from volunteers is free of charge, residents are responsible for bringing any new parts or specific materials needed to finish their repairs.
This event is part of a community effort to promote sustainability by encouraging people to fix things instead of buying new ones. By sharing tools and repair skills, the organizers hope to build a more resourceful community and protect the environment.
