Get your broken household item fixed and learn how to do it yourself – for free.
Do you have a broken household item that you don’t know what to do with? If so, November 13 is your lucky day. Sheridan is hosting its second Repair Café where you can get help fixing it. And more importantly, you’ll learn from expert volunteer “fixers” about how to repair it yourself. There will be fixers available for electrical and electronics appliances, computers and clothes. It’s free and everyone is welcome! You’ll meet new people while enjoying a cup of coffee. To avoid lineups, please arrive early.

Who: Any member of the Sheridan community
What: Repair Café – a global movement that aims to reduce the waste that’s sent to landfill and to change society’s throw-away mindset. Sheridan is the first higher education institution in Canada joining this growing network of more than 400 repair cafés around the world
Where: Student Centre, Atrium, Davis Campus
When: Thursday, November 13 – 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Why: To celebrate and reaffirm Sheridan’s commitment to its Mission Zero plan
Remember:
1. Bring all the accessory of your item if possible (e.g. cable, manual) to help your fixer on diagnosis of the problem.
2. Bring the replacement part, which will not be provided by the fixer (e.g. a new zipper to replace the broken zipper)
3. Bring a part to test if available (e.g. a working bulb for your lamp, a CD for your CD player)
