Love It. Break It. Fix It.
Repair Cafés are free events that bring together those with broken items and those who can fix them.
York Region, in partnership with NewMakeIt, offers a series of Repair Cafés exclusively for York Region residents, hosted at local libraries and community spaces.
From bicycle chains to bracelet clasps to torn pants, volunteer fixers are available to help repair your item free of charge, extending its life.
Each item repaired at a Repair Café is:

One less item wasted
One less item purchased
One more proud fixer
One more smiling face

Since 2018, with the support of our community partners and volunteers, York Region Repair Cafés have fixed over 1,120 items.

CPL Makers: Junk Journaling
2026-07-28 14:00 - 16:00 UTC | Caledon Public Library Albion Bolton Branch, 150 Queens Street South, Caledon, Ontario, Canada
Join us to create a journal of recycled and found objects that celebrates YOU!
Junk journaling is the practice of using recycled and found objects, such as ticket stubs, receipts, wrappers, photographs, and scraps to make a journal of your daily life. It allows you to turn “junk” into joy by finding gratitude in the small things.
In this program, we will provide one (1) notebook to each participant, along with embellishments and cardstock. As this is an upcycling and personal project, please bring in your own items such as printed photographs, doodles, wrappers, receipts, tickets, buttons, tags, or anything else you would love to see in your journal.

Learn to Sew with Help a Girl Out (Brampton)
2026-08-24 18:00 - 20:00 UTC | Brampton Library – Chinguacousy, 9050 Bramalea Road, Brampton, Ontario, L6S 6G7, Canada
Learn Sewing Machine Basics to make reusable period pads with Help A Girl Out.

In this workshop presented by Help A Girl Out, you’ll learn sewing machine basics to make reusable period pads and how reusable menstrual products help end period poverty and help the environment. All materials will be provided. Registration required.

Please note: All participants must complete a makerspace waiver before the start of the program.

HAGO is an anti-poverty organization based in Brampton Ontario, that aims to eliminate period poverty in Canada and developing countries. They have distributed hundreds of thousands of menstrual products since 2018. They serve individuals and centers across Canada, the Caribbean, and a few African countries.

Period poverty is a worldwide health crisis that affects mental health, reproductive health, self-esteem, and confidence. Reusable pads not only reduce waste to landfills but also ensure that individuals have consistent access to period products for years at a time, eliminating period poverty sustainably.

Item Swap & Exchange
2026-08-29 11:00 - 16:00 UTC | Heart Comonos, 67 Hillcrest Avea, Mississauga, Ontario
Need something for back to school? Have things to donate? Join us!

Please bring an item to swap and fill out our waiver either on Eventbrite or at the event!
What to expect
Join Heart Comonos for our Circular Economy Initiative workshops on Mending, Weaving, and Appliance Repair! These workshops are part of the Heart Comonos mission to promote environmental wellness through sustainable practices and skill development.
Our goal for these workshops is to extend the usability of household items to minimize waste sent to landfills, and to reduce our dependence on mass-produced retailers. With help from our expert “fixers,” we will do our best to repair items, and to teach community members the skills required to do it for themselves.
In this event, we will be hosting an item swap & exchange! Clothing and item swaps are useful for communities to share what we already have, without buying new or throwing out what others can use. We hope that this event will support families preparing for back-to-school and other folks in the community looking to exchange items. Bring what you don’t need and leave with something you do!
Please bring one of the following (in good condition) to swap with an item you need:

Backpacks
Stationary/arts supplies
Notebooks/paper
Good condition clothing/Bags
Small appliances
Small furniture
Toys/games

We are deeply thankful to the Region of Peel for supporting this project through Peel Region’s Circular Economy Fund Initiative 2026. We are also thankful to The City of Mississauga for helping us to run these events with knowledgable volunteers.
