If you're using your closet, basement or garage to store broken items you haven't yet gotten around to repairing, this is the weekend to dig them out.
The second annual Fix-It Fair goes Saturday at the Halifax Forum.
Anna Weinstein from the Clean Foundation told NEWS 95.7 it started as a waste reduction initiative last year at the Halifax Central Library, and this year they're moving to a bigger venue.
“We'll have camera repair, vacuum repair, stove, small appliances, textiles, furniture, knives, amplifiers, and we'll also have a repair cafe,” she explained. “So any of the things that don't fit into any of those categories, we're going to have a team of handy folks who will give it their best shot.”
Weinstein said there will also be a lot of workshops including on how to sharpen knives, recycling and composting, basic electricity and a kid's presentation on how to make a self-watering planter from a plastic bottle.
The Fix-it Fair runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and it's a free event.
