Denman Island Climate Action Network Repair Café on March 15

community · March 15, 2026 · Denman Island Recycling Centre

The Denman Island Climate Action Network (DICAN) held a Repair Café event on March 15, 2026, where volunteers repaired various items including chainsaws, weed whackers, tools, a computer keyboard, a barbecue, and wheelbarrows. The event was successful and helped prevent waste by repairing items instead of discarding them.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
