Swift Current Repair Café
Repair. Reuse. Reconnect.
At our community repair events, bring your broken items and learn alongside local volunteers. Repair what you love, share a skill, and keep useful things out of landfill.
Thank you, Swift Current! Our October 24, 2026 Repair Café welcomed 156 attendees to Palliser Pavilion. Volunteers fully repaired 209 of 296 items — a 70.6% full repair rate — with another 7 partially repaired.
That brings our community total to 1,670 items repaired across 10 cafés. Sign up for our newsletter for news of the next café.
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.
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.
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.
Thank you to all our sponsors. We could not put on this event without their support.
Please help us thank them by using their services and shopping in their stores.
