Remove the tube from the tire, fill air and dip tube in water. You can find where the pinhole is. On the pinhole apply a gum gel and paste around sticker.

Temporarily you can use a can of tire repair, this may fix it permanently. For a better fix, a patch needs to be put on the inside of the tire. You need specialized equipment for this so take it to a tire shop, it will cost you about 30$ CDN.

There are tire plug kits that you can buy from any dollar store or auto parts store. Follow the directions on the package, but I like to have about 20 psi in the tire when fixing them. It allows you to push harder before the tire collapses.

If you have a puncture you can typically repair it by plugging the tire. This is where you use a special tool to insert a piece of rubber into the tire sealing it up. Look online or at your local auto parts dealers.

To perform this type or repair you are going to need a sealer. Once you have the sealer you will need to apply and let dry.
