Do you have broken stuff around your house? Don’t throw it away. Bring it to our Repair Cafe and learn to repair it. We have experts to fix almost anything. And it’s free!
Saturday, March 28, 2026, 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Palliser Pavilion, Kinetic Exhibition Park, 1700 17 Ave SE, Swift Current, SK Canada
Free Admission. Donations Encouraged.
Volunteer repair experts will be available to repair items, free of charge. Learn from the experts while you watch and participate in the repair.
Please note: At the Repair Café, our dedicated experts generously volunteer their time to assist attendees, ensuring a cost-free experience for all participants. It’s important to note that beyond the event, our Repair Café volunteers do not offer complimentary repair services, and such expectations should not arise. If you encounter a Repair Café volunteer outside of the event, we encourage you to express gratitude for their volunteer efforts, rather than approaching them with requests for free repairs. Our volunteers’ commitment to the event is truly appreciated, and we want to maintain a positive and respectful interaction with them at all times.
The action of fixing or mending something to extend it's lifespan.
A sustainable future
Changing the world one repair at a time!
The Repair Café helps people reconnect with the things they own. Swift Current’s Repair Café works to create a more sustainable community and fight against the throwaway culture. It encourages a sharing economy by bringing together people with repair skills and fostering collaboration for the greater good.
Mini Documentary
Repair Builds Community!
The Swift Current Repair Café is about more than fixing broken items—it’s about connection, sustainability, and sharing skills that make a difference. This inspiring short documentary by OTime highlights how people come together to repair, learn, and grow a stronger, more connected community.

"Before you decide to discard your items give SC Repair Cafe a call and chance first. I was surprised with their variety of items they can look at. I recently had them look at my melody in motion musical ornaments that have a sentimental value to me. Grateful that Ray Gowan was able to make repairs to them. In the future I will be making sure I check them out first before giving up and throwing things away."
