Do you have a broken household item? If so, March 16 is your lucky day. Sheridan is pleased to offer its next Repair Café at the Davis campus. At the Repair Café, you can get help from volunteer fixers to repair your household items and learn how to do it yourself. We will have fixers for computers, electronics, small appliances and clothes, among others. Everyone is welcome and it is all free! You will meet new people while enjoying a cup of coffee.

As part of the Zero Waste program, the Repair Café fosters a culture of sustainability at Sheridan and it encourages the sharing of repair skills and knowledge in our community. The Repair Café is part of a global movement that aims to reduce needless waste and to change the throwaway mindset of our society. Sheridan is the first and only post-secondary institution hosting a Repair Café. You are invited to join this innovative initiative. Below are the details of the event.
