Join us for the first-ever Outdoor Gear Repair Café on campus! In the spirit of stewardship and circularity, this event is designed to keep your favourite gear in the field and out of the landfill. Whether it’s a torn tent, a stuck zipper on a sleeping bag, a backpack needing a stitch, a camping stove needing maintenance, and more, our "fixers" are here to help.
Seeking Volunteer Fixers! If you are moderately knowledgeable about repairing small electronics or other "gear", please volunteer as a Fixer: Fill out 1) this Waiver and 2) this Registration
