SUMMARY:Orillia Repair Cafe - Spring 2026 edition
DESCRIPTION:The Spring edition of the Orillia Repair Cafe will take place on Saturday April 18 from 11-3PM at St James Anglican Church in downtown Orillia. \nThis is a free community event hosted by Sustainable Orillia. It brings together volunteers and attendees to repair various items\, promoting sustainability and reducing waste. The event is held twice a year\, with skilled volunteers attempting repairs on a wide range of items. The goal is to encourage repair over replacement\, leading to conservation of resources and a reduction in carbon emissions. The atmosphere is vibrant and positive; light refreshments and snacks are provided and children can participate in supervised activities. The event is free to attend\, while donations are gratefully accepted to cover event costs. \nThe list below includes suggestions of what we can try to fix or mend based on the volunteers who are available for this event.
