SUMMARY:Vancouver Fix-It Collective's Everything Fix-It Event - A Coll
 aboration with Frameworq and Maker Mobile
DESCRIPTION:This event takes place on traditional, unceded, occupied a
 ncestral homelands of the Coast Salish peoples, specifically the xÊ·mÉ
 ™Î¸kÊ·É™yÌ“É™m (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) and SÉ™l̓ílwÉ™taÊ
 ”/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) First Nations. As settlers uninvited to
  these lands we as organizers acknowledge that we are unable to do ant
 i-racist work without using its resources and are complicit in a colon
 ial system that perpetuates violence against Indigenous Peoples. We wa
 nt to extend meaningful solidarity by fighting against the ongoing gen
 ocide, environmental racism, and violence of the indigenous people in 
 these lands.\nBring your own cup ....and container! We will have water
 , and tea available, and some healthy & nutritious snacks, but in the 
 name of #zerowaste and epic love of nature, we want to encourage the u
 se of re-usable items.\nIf you are coming, *please* tell us what you p
 lan to bring, by posting in the event, so we can ensure we have the ri
 ght tools, and such available, and it gives us all time to brainstorm 
 as a group (those others coming can see too!)\n---- Do you have broken
  stuff at home you've been waiting all summer to repair.....?! Do you 
 have a knack for fixing things and want to share your skills?\nBring y
 our items, and your creative spirits. We’ll help each other repair, 
 re-purpose and renew broken items , whether we're skilled in this fiel
 d or not, there's opportunity to learn, share, and fix!\nFixing keeps 
 waste out of the landfill, builds our shared capacity to live in a reg
 enerative way...plus it's a great excuse to just hang out and meet our
  neighbours!\nThis round we are pleased to partner up again with Maker
  Mobile *and* Frameworq to encourage a diversity of fixes!\nTextile fi
 xing will be in the community centre, and for all non-textile related 
 fixes we'll have Maker Mobile's Workshop on Wheels parked out front! (
 see photos from our first event to get a feel for this magical worksho
 p on wheels!)\nhttp://frameworq.ca/ http://www.makermobile.org/\nBy th
 e way....this event isn't only about experts and people who have thing
 s to fix.... while it has that aspect, you certainly don't have to be 
 either.....it's also about coming together, sharing what skills we do 
 have and working together to fix things - learning with each other. Wh
 en we don't know, we can always look it up online! It's ultimately abo
 ut empowering ourselves, debunking some of those myths around fixing i
 tems, building community, and sharing in this life on this planet, tog
 ether. :)\nHope to see you there!\nhashtag - vanfixit Instagram/ Twitt
