Teddy Bear Repair Fair

Access

About

Join the Richmond Museum and Richmond Environmental Programs for a heartwarming and interactive experience at the Teddy Bear Repair Fair. 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! The link to register will open on August 21st, be sure to sign up as space is limited! https://TeddyBearRepairFair.eventbrite.ca

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.

Richmond Museum

The Richmond Museum is operated collaboratively by the Richmond Museum Society and City of Richmond. The Museum’s vision is to make the history of Richmond relevant, engaging and accessible.

To support this vision, the Museum collects, documents, researches, preserves, exhibits and interprets objects of historical and cultural significance to the development and history of Richmond.

As storytellers, collectors and educators, our goal is to create moments of wonder and understanding. Our exhibitions tell the many fascinating stories of Richmond; our collections are windows into how we live, past and present; our education programs open minds, young and old; and our work inspires action for a healthy community and planet.
