Repair Café (and Holiday Décor Swap and Shop!)

What do you do with a broken toaster? Or a bike wheel that's out of alignment ... and what about a sweater full of moth holes? Toss it? No way! Bring them to the Repair Café, where our fantastic volunteer repair team can assess and more than likely help you get your item repaired. And for those who want to give DIY a try, there will be tools and materials on hand for you to work on fixing some things yourself!

Holiday Décor Swap and Shop
With the spooky and sparkly seasons coming, we at ReImagine are thinking about ways to cut down on consumption and save money - while still being festive as To this end, our September Repair Café will include a Holiday Décor Swap and Shop for folks to find new-to-them, gently used decorations!

You can drop off your gently used decorations for Fall, Halloween, Christmas, or Wintertime (even Spring/Easter, if you have them!) at the Gordon United Church, 935 Goldstream Avenue in Langford on Saturday, September 27 from 10am - 11am (the Swapping and Shopping starts at 11!). Drop your things off for others to enjoy or find something new for your household!

Got the tools and some time? If you're a Handy Superhero like our mascot Reggie the Wrench Guy, we'd love to have you join our righteous repair quest. Repair Café ReImagine West Shore could use more handy volunteers and we're looking for local residents with different skills who can serve as repair experts during our Repair Café meetings. Check out our Call to Handyfolk on our website and let us know if you can lend us a hand at an upcoming Repair Café!

Our Repair Café West Shore is a community collaboration with the Langford Residents Association and is supported by the Capital Regional District, City of Colwood, City of Langford, Town of View Royal, District of Metchosin, District of Highlands and Vancity.
