LESPACEMAKER is pleased to announce the hiring of Morgane Saint-Cyr as Logistics and Operations Manager. His tasks will be to support the general management in collaboration with the assistant management in the execution of tasks related to the practical operations of the organization, as well as to ensure the good order of the workshops and the implementation of related projects such as the Discount and recovery. Morgane will also ensure communication to the LESPACEMAKER community.

Morgane holds a bachelor’s degree in Human Ecology from the College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, Maine and has evolved in a multitude of organizations during his studies. His poise and organizational intelligence make him a prime candidate for the position.

It goes without saying that LESPACEMAKER is in the process of redefining its structure by setting up a management team that will be able to divide up the tasks and meet the challenges according to the skills of the resources in place. With Arno as general manager, Marie-Jade in finance and Morgane in operational logistics, our project has a strong team that will be able to effectively manage the day-to-day work of the workshop and ensure the project growth.

We are counting on everyone’s collaboration to ensure his integration into the project.

For those who have not seen it yet, a nice article on LESPACEMAKER in the Journal de Montréal this morning, thanks to Camille Dauphinais-Pelletier!

Pssst, we always need help with chores and various committees! It is thanks to a motivated volunteer team that this project is possible. “There are 1000 ways to get involved, people here are really hospitable”. Feel free to write to us and come to the space 😉

A new chapter is being written. We have just received a first payment of $20,000 from PME MTL Centre-Ville for the launch of LESPACEMAKER.

We owe considerable thanks to Jason Prince who was without a doubt the catalyst for our public fundraising efforts. We couldn’t have hoped for a better advisor to represent our project. He instantly understood not only the social value of LESPACEMAKER, but also its character and uniqueness.

On behalf of the entire LESPACEMAKER community, thank you, Jason Prince! Thank you, PME MTL!

This is great news for the Montreal makers community! After more than two years of gestation, we have signed our lease for the coming years.

LESPACEMAKER will be located at 2875 Hochelaga in Centre-Sud, a stone’s throw from the Préfontaine metro station. This first phase of the project guarantees us a space of 15,000 square feet inside and 5,000 square feet outside as of October 1, 2018.  A second phase will allow us to expand the site to 30,000 square feet.
