Vancouver Fix-It Collective

Everything has a deep story. When we engage in the throw-away lifestyle, those stories cannot be told. By fixing, we can continue to tell those stories, and pass items down through generations and have those stories told well beyond our time. By fixing we also learn, empower each other, and come together to build resilient communities.

Anonymous asked:

Is it possible to have a poster on your site with the Nov 14th date for the Fix-It event at Gordon Neighbourhood House (GNH), rather than two for the Sept 26th event? The posters are helpful for those of us who want to spread the word and put on bulletin boards in multi unit buildings as not everyone regularly visits GNH nor do they go to the GNH or Vancouver Fix-It Collective website / facebook / tumblr/ twitter for information. Thanks

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 vanfixit@gmail.com if you have more inquiries. :)
