College of the Rockies, Selkirk College, and the Kootenay Outdoor Recreation Enterprise Society (KORE Outdoors) have partnered to turn COTR’s Mobile Education Lounge into a mobile outdoor gear repair and education project. The mobile repair station will offer free repairs on gear, host skill building workshops, and collect items that need to be taken to Selkirk’s Technology Access Centre for more complex fixes. “The Re-Hub Tour is helping to reduce landfill waste, extend the life of valuable gear, and show how the outdoor industry can support a circular economy,” said COTR Manager of Applied Research and Innovation Paul Tiege. “We’re proud to contribute by supporting a sustainable business practices study and supplying the Mobile Education Lounge.”
