Mid-Scarborough Repair Hub

A monthly community repair café in Scarborough, run by the Scarborough Environmental Association, where residents bring broken household items to be fixed by volunteer repairers instead of throwing them away. It usually takes place on the first or second Saturday of the month.

Repairs typically cover clothing, small appliances, computers and bikes. Visitors bring any parts needed for their fix, and anyone with more than one item rejoins the line so everyone gets a turn; sign-ups close an hour before the end. A clothing swap often runs alongside, so attendees can bring clothes to trade. Organizers ask visitors to avoid fragrances and to consider wearing a mask out of respect for the volunteer fixers.
