Our next Diamond Valley Repair Café & Trade Day is coming up!
📅 Saturday, September 12
🕚 11:00 am – 3:00 pm
📍 Griffith’s Centre — 122 Government Rd S., Diamond Valley
Bring along that small appliance, electronic item, lamp, toy, bicycle, small piece of furniture, clothing needing a mend—or something else that deserves another chance.
Our volunteer fixers will have a look and, whenever possible, we’d like you to be part of the repair.
👀 Watch how it’s done.
🪛 Help with the repair.
🧰 Learn to use a tool.
💡 Ask questions and find out how your item works.
👨👩👧👦 Bring the family!
Repair Café isn’t just somewhere to drop off something that’s broken.
We’re introducing our Try It Table—a simple hands-on place where children, parents, grandparents and curious adults can make something and learn together.
For September, we’ll have birdhouse kits ready to build.
No broken item required. Just bring your curiosity!
🔄 And don’t forget the Trade Table
Have something useful you no longer need?
Leave an item. Take an item.
No buying or selling—just another way to keep useful things circulating in our community.
🛠️ Have a repair skill? We’d love to meet you.
Our Repair Café depends on people willing to share what they know. You don’t have to know how to repair everything. Electronics, small appliances, sewing, woodworking, bicycles, general tinkering—every skill adds something.
Passing knowledge along is every bit as important as making the repair.
🌎 And Repair Café is growing across the Foothills
Diamond Valley isn’t doing this alone.
Okotoks, High River and Diamond Valley are working together as the Foothills Repair Café, helping make repair opportunities available throughout our region.
