Fix, Renew, Sustain Together
At the Burlington Repair Cafe, we believe in the power of community and sustainability. Bring your broken household items and let our dedicated volunteers help you fix them, usually at no cost. Join us in reducing waste and giving new life to your cherished possessions!
About Us
Celebrating our 7th anniversary in May 2026, Burlington Repair Cafe has grown from a small group of four volunteers fixing just three items into a thriving monthly event. Since 2019, our volunteer “fixers” have repaired over 1,500 items with a 65% success rate. Due to strong demand, we introduced a reservation system in 2024, and now regularly repair around 40 items during each four-hour session.
The Repair Cafe movement began in the Netherlands 17 years ago and has expanded to over 3,000 locations worldwide, including more than 30 across Canada—all dedicated to extending the life of everyday items and reducing waste.
With support from Halton Region and Rotary Club grants, we’re expanding in 2026 with new Repair Cafes in Oakville and Halton Hills.
