KORE Re-Hub
Because saving the Earth is a little bit important.
The Re-Hub Gear Repair Tour is hitting the road! We’re visiting 12 locations across the Kootenays, bringing expert repair technicians and a fully equipped trailer to local community events. Whether it’s a torn jacket or a busted pack, we’ll help you mend your gear so it can stay on the trail and out of the landfill.

The KORE Re-Hub is a Kootenay-based program that includes a mobile repair tour and a centre for outdoor gear circularity. The end goal is to have an outdoor gear repair and up-cycling facility in the Kootenays that is dedicated to providing essential training and job creation opportunities. Through Re-Hub, KORE is at the forefront of a clean-growth opportunity, actively repairing and repurposing textiles from gear users and major outdoor gear manufacturers, and in so doing, impacting sustainable change across the entire industry.
KORE’s goal is for the Kootenays to be the most recognized region in Canada for outdoor gear circularity and advocate and facilitate keeping outdoor gear in circulation longer and out of the landfills.
