Our Future First is collaborating on a Make and Mend, with Works-in-Progress (www.works-in-progress.ca) and Toronto Repair Cafe (https://repaircafetoronto.ca/rc-events/repair-cafe-at-waterfront-neighbourhood-centre/) on a community building skill share for practical climate action.
The shared event space will be the Dance Studio at the Waterfront Neighbourhood Centre (WNC) right on the shores of Lake Ontario.
We will have fixer tables for Household and Appliances, and Jewellery, while Make and Mend will offer to assist participants with hand sewing repairs and to make bags out of discarded t-shirts. WNC sewing machines will be in use by Make and Mend, and one additional machine will be provided for RCT Sewing fixers. Outdoor Bicycle repairs will take place just outside of the room.
There will be a refreshment table for beverages, snacks and fruit.
This project is supported by the City of Toronto through Live Green Toronto and the Neighbourhood Climate Action Champions program.
