Repair Cafe

The Town of Aurora, in partnership with The Region of York, is hosting a Repair Café. Residents are invited to bring small household items, clothing, or bicycles in need of repair. Volunteer fixers will be on site to help make repairs at no cost, helping extend the life of everyday items and reduce waste.

Repair Cafés support sustainable living by keeping usable items out of landfill, sharing practical repair skills, and strengthening community connections.

Date: Saturday, March 28
Time: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Location: AFLC, Program Room C.

Space is limited and advance registration is required.
