The Northern BC Maker Collective is a group of makers and creatives from PG and beyond, working to launch a shared creative workspace in the region. Born from the roots of the original MakerLab at Two Rivers Gallery, the Northern BC Maker Collective recognizes the ongoing need for a collaborative, creative workspace in northern B.C. So their mission is simple: to create a collaborative space where people can build, learn, and connect through hands-on exploration and making.
To kick things off, they’re hosting the MakerMixer — a hands-on, fun event, full of demos and activities!
When: Thursday June 12, 2025, 6 – 8:30 pm
