Get excited and make things!
Halifax Makerspace has a new home! Thanks to the many people who want to see a makerspace thrive in Halifax we have enough support to lease a space. We are hard at work getting the place in a working state. We have a couple fixes left before we can get our occupancy permit signed. We should have news about opening dates around the middle of August. Subscribe to our mailing list below so you don’t miss any upcoming news!
