Earth Week Fix-It Fest

Got a favourite sweater with a missing button? A phone that won’t turn on? A pair of jeans that could use a little love? Instead of tossing them, learn how to fix them!

Join Conservation Council of New Brunswick for Earth Week Fix-It Fest, a hands-on, beginner-friendly workshop where we’ll teach you the basics of repairing fabric goods and small electronics. We will guide you through simple fixes to extend the life of your items—saving you money and reducing waste.

Date: April 24, 2025
Where: Conserver House, 180 St. John Street

What You’ll Learn:

• Fabric Fixes: Sewing buttons, mending small tears, adding patches, and creative upcycling tricks
• Small Tech Repairs: Troubleshooting common issues, identifying replacement parts, and finding the right tools for the job
• Repair Mindset: Resources for DIY repairs and why fixing is better than replacing

While we can’t guarantee a fix on the spot, we’ll guide you through the steps to build the skills, find the tools, and gain the confidence to tackle small tech repairs on your own—helping you keep devices out of the landfill. Repairing your tech is better for your wallet and the planet ?

This fun, welcoming event is perfect for all experience levels. Whether you’re a beginner or have some experience, you’ll leave with new skills, useful tips, and the confidence to tackle future repairs.

Let’s rethink our throwaway culture—one repair at a time!
