More than just a studio space, we focus on sharing all sorts of knowledge within a friendly and collaborative atmosphere. We can be thought of as the community workshop for a community without workshops, but are more like a social club for making projects and learning new skills.

Either for maintenance or because of an issue. When this happens, this is a checklist of the things we need to do. If we don't do these steps, people may come a long way to VHS to use the laser, and be unable to use it. That is a bummer. The laser is volunteer run, and there are no guarantees of usability - but if we can clearly communicate what's happening that goes a long way to being excellent to each other! text/html 2026-09-28T17:31:39+00:00 admin (admin@undisclosed.example.com) https://vanhack.ca/events-calendar?rev=1790616699&do=diff Events Calendar Access Information & Tours VHS is open to the public every Tuesday evening.
