The Office of Sustainability and the Libraries will be hosting Repair Cafés on April 3 and 8, fixing items from the Humber community that need repair. 

We are recruiting skilled volunteers to help fixing items from the following categories:  

• Clothing  
• Appliances/small electronics  
• Bikes  
• Jewelry  

There will be a few spots for fixers-in-training for those who wish to learn how to repair items alongside experienced volunteers. 

Participating in the Repair Café will help students and faculty connect with the broader community, while also providing valuable experiential learning opportunities. By participating in this event, students will be able to:  

• Apply practical skills in real-world settings, helping to develop their problem-solving and critical thinking abilities.  
• Engage in collaborative learning by working alongside professionals and peers from diverse fields.  
• Contribute to sustainability efforts, aligning with Humber's commitment to environmental stewardship and social responsibility.  
• Receive recognition through the Co-Curricular Record Program. 

Do your students or department have relevant skills to fix things? Would you like to volunteer as a fixer? 

Please submit the Fixer Form if you are interested in volunteering. 

Event information:

Got a broken toaster, a torn jacket, or a wobbly chair? Don’t toss it—fix it! Join the Office of Sustainability, the Library, and Idea Lab at the Repair Café Humber, where skilled volunteers will help you repair your beloved items for free.

What’s a Repair Café?
