Saskatoon TechWorks is volunteer run and we don’t currently have anyone volunteering to maintain content on the website. Yes, someone is still applying security updates. If you’re a member and want to post some exciting info about our makerspace, please let someone know and we can get you an account.

July 28th, 7pm.

As of May 28, the Saskatchewan government has eased restrictions as part of Step One of the Re-opening Roadmap. This will allow up to 30 people for public indoor gatherings, as long as two metres distance can be maintained between individuals. With this, we should be able to host public hack nights and workshops again. No workshops are currently planned, but if you have any suggestions or would like to host some yourself, please contact the board at thespace@sktechworks.ca to make arrangements.
All other restrictions remain in place, including masking, maintaining 2 metres distance, and staying home if you feel ill or suspect you may have recently been exposed to SARS-CoV-2.

NOTICE

UPDATED AGAIN: Due to recent Saskatchewan Health guidelines, as of November 27th masks are mandatory in TechWorks at all times.

ALSO

In order to facilitate contact tracing, everyone attending this space MUST either scan their RFID card at the door or sign the guest book.

As I write this, there is no clear plan for when we might be able to re-open our weekly open door nights. Since community has always been a strong point at Saskatoon TechWorks, we hope to maintain some of that by hosting “Virtual Hack Nights” on Zoom. Watch the “events” page for links each week to our Zoom meeting. Whether or not you are an active member, please join us. Show us something you have been working on. Or, simply hang out with us.

I hope to see you “there.”

The situation that we are currently facing together is unprecedented and the well-being of our members and community is our priority. Here are the adjustments we are making for the short term:

Space Access

As of Thursday, March 19, 2020, the space will be closed to the public. As a result, hack night (Tuesday “Open Door”) is cancelled until further notice. 

We are limiting the number of people allowed in the space at one time to help maintain social distancing recommendations. If you do have a project you would like to work on, please coordinate with other members to limit the number of people in the space at one time to 6. Please be respectful of each others’ time and space. Keep a distance of 2 metres between yourself and other members.   

Cleanliness

We have signs up around the space describing how to appropriately wash your hands and have tissues and sanitizer available. Please use the available resources and keep yourself and others safe. 

If You Have Symptoms

Please do not enter the space. Go home and practice self-isolation.

Workshops

Until further notice workshops at the space are unavailable. We are looking into the possibility of hosting online workshops and are welcome to your ideas!

Stay Tuned

New information is available to us every day. With that information, we are making decisions to support the safety and well-being of our members. We will continue to update you as the situation changes.
