Teddy Bear Repair Café
February 17 @ 11:00 am - 3:00 pm
Free
Join the Richmond Museum and Richmond Environmental Programs for a heartwarming and interactive experience at the Teddy Bear Repair Cafe. Schedule an appointment with our team of friendly “doctors” who are specialists in stitching up rips and tears, reattaching limbs, and re-stuffing toys that need some extra plumping. Your treasured stuffed toy will be in good hands with us! Be sure to sign up as space is limited!
While waiting, families can participate in an exciting Treasure Hunt to explore the Richmond Museum’s new exhibit, Family Treasures. Discover the many ways our treasures and heirlooms reveal our unique histories while also showing surprising connections. Richmond is encouraging residents, of all ages, to “Rethink Waste” to help reduce waste and support a circular economy, including extending the life of well-loved stuffed toys by maintaining and repairing them rather than buying new. This event is funded with assistance from Metro Vancouver.
