Sooke Repair Cafe
Do you have a lamp that’s not working? a toaster? or maybe some clothing which needs hemming?
We invite you to join us at Zero Waste Sooke’s next Repair Café: a volunteer-led community initiative that educates residents on how to repair items instead of tossing things out.
Residents of Sooke and surrounding areas are encouraged to bring their small broken items to fix them on the spot with the help of our voluntary fixers. Please know, while we will attempt to fix all items brought in, we may be limited to what we can fix depending on the volunteers skills and expertise on the day.
