The Guelph Tool Library would like to invite the community members to the October Repair Cafe on Saturday Oct 19th at Three Willows United Church (577 Willow Rd, Guelph) from 10 am to 2 pm. 

Visitors can bring their broken electronics, electrical appliances and clocks, damaged clothing, bikes that needs repairs and knives or gardening tools that need sharpening.

We would like to kindly ask the visitors not to bring the following items to the Repair Cafe: items which need welding, refrigeration equipment (coolers, bar fridges, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, etc.), gas powered equipment (lawn mowers, line trimmers, chain saws, etc.), items operating on power greater than 120 volts and tools and appliances from other countries operating on different currents.

The Repair Cafe Guelph is a project of the Guelph Tool Library, started operating as of August 2016. Repair Cafes run bi-monthly at various locations throughout the city. The events run entirely by volunteers and rely on community donations to offer free repair services. In 2019, Repair Cafe Guelph served 300 visitors, approx. 500 items were fixed and 550 kg of waste was diverted from the landfill!
