Event on fb is here: http://on.fb.me/1XoDaPf if you can RSVP there and tell us what you’re bringing that’d be swell. But if you don’t use it no problem, just email [email protected] :) also email us if you want to be added to our mailing list to hear about future events,  or if you have any questions! See you soon!!

Hey! Sorry about that! I'm a one person show and it's hard to ensure all the social media sites are saying same thing. I'm working on a website now too! So that should help, as I do recognize not everyone uses fb/twitter etc. I will post a poster yes! Also can email me at [email protected] if you have more inquiries. :)

Hanging out, fixing, sharing in good times together. #vanfixit at our second event this past Saturday. Much gratitude. #yvr #zerowaste #naturehasnowaste #vancouverbc #community

Some of the items that got fixed on Saturday... No landfill for these gals! Big thanks to Vancouver Hack Space for having us, and everyone who came out to fix versus toss....giving items a second chance, and continuing to tell those stories!
