Opportunity Description
Repair Cafés – Volunteer Fixers
We partner with the Barrie Public Library and other community organizations to host Repair Cafés and we’re always looking for volunteer fixers.
Fixers are people who enjoy troubleshooting and repairing household items, helping others learn basic repair and who want to waste and promote reuse
Items often include basic electrical (lamps, wiring, etc. small appliances (e.g. toasters), clothing, and bikes, general repairs.
The focus is on sharing skills and empowering visitors, not just fixing things for them.
We do not fix electronics (cell phones, laptops, etc.)

Mission: Living Green Barrie’s mission is to guide citizens, businesses and local leaders toward actions that foster sustainability and resilience in our community.
About Living Green Barrie: Formally known as Environmental Action, Living Green Barrie is a registered charity celebrating its 30th Anniversary this year. For three decades, Living Green has been Barrie’s go-to environmental organization. With support from grants, sponsors, donors, and a great deal of volunteer efforts, we have initiated projects and programs that have made Barrie a cleaner and greener city. We started Barrie’s first plastics recycling program, initiated the annual Spring into Clean events, and installed the first Community Garden, just to highlight a few.
