REPAIR CAFES AND WORKSHOPS ON DENMAN ISLAND!
WANT TO LEARN HOW TO SHARPEN AND MAINTAIN YOUR CHAINSAW?
YOU ARE IN LUCK! A FREE WORKSHOP IS COMING YOUR WAY!
MARK THE DATE: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 15TH, 1 – 4 PM
IN THE DCA ROOM, UPSTAIRS IN THE OLD SCHOOL, 5191 DENMAN ROAD
This coming Sunday we are lucky to have James Watt, a former logger teach us how to sharpen our own chainsaws. Make sure you have the right size file for your particular chainsaw and bring them both to the workshop. If you don’t have the right file, we will have one you can use.
Some of you already signed up at the “Love the Earth” event, hosted by Denman Island Climate Action Network (DICAN) on September 27th when we listened to a “Living Green” presentation by Bekka Kram from the David Suzuki Foundation.
There are still spaces for more participants and the more of us that know how to do this, the better!
After the 4th Annual Garden Tools Repair Café held in the spring, DICAN applied for and received a small grant from Denman Works, which has made it possible to expand our offerings. This summer Kassian Starchuk-Russell held a bicycle repair café while the market was happening. Many people brought their bikes to be looked at and fixed.
Before the next Garden Tool Repair Cafe we plan to offer a knife sharpening workshop, clothes mending café and a small appliance repair café, where fears can be overcome and simple repairs can be learned and accomplished. Oh, and a toy repair café for kids!
If you have an idea for a workshop, please let me know!
