Solid Waste Services is excited to announce the start of the 2026 Repair Café series. The series will be kicking off on Feb. 21 from 10 am to 2 pm at the Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre, located at 102 Greenview Avenue. Repair Cafés aim to reduce landfill waste by fixing items, teaching new skills, and building community. Ottawa Tool Library’s fixers and menders will be sharing their knowledge and skills around fixing everything from darning socks to re-wiring kettles. There will be free repairs of electronics, clothing, small appliances, jewelry, and more! At the same time, community members can learn new skills, enjoy coffee and snacks, and bring their children along too for some family friendly activities. For more information visit, Ottawa Tool Library. For details, please visit ottawatoollibrary.com/programs/repair-cafes.
