Spirit West Launches Canada's First Ever Repair-Fest.

At Spirit West, we believe quality gear belongs in the mountains and not in the landfills. That's why we've created Repair-Fest ! Dedicated to sharing ideas, swapping gear and offering practical solutions for repairing, exchanging and re-purposing adventure gear.

Repair-fest was created to support Alberta's adventure community and grow the circular economy here in Calgary. That means buying high quality goods made to last, repairing or up-cycling items rather than throwing them out, and building community to support this vision.

This years festival will feature an opportunities to purchase quality used adventure gear, learn DIY repair skills, enter prize draws to win awesome locally made gear, and meet other like minded people!
