Doing some spring cleaning or planting? The Sustainability Office is excited to announce the official launch of the Free Store Seed Library at the Free Store pop-up on March 6th at the SLC Marketplace. Bring us your seed and item donations in clean, working condition and discover something new for yourself!

Need something repaired? Come to E7 1401 for the repair event hosted by 4RepairKW. 

We can repair: 

• Small household and electrical applicant repairs (120V)
• Small mechanical fixes 
• Electronics troubleshooting 
• Sewing and mending

We also have a DIY repair station where you can try your hand at sewing, glueing and stretching shoes, knife sharpening, and more. No need to sign up for the DIY station.

If you don't have anything in need of repair... don't despair, we are happy to have you come and see repair in action!

FREE and open to everyone. Sign up at 4RepairKW.EventBrite.ca. Walks-in are accepted, time permitting.
