Do It Yourself

The idea for a DIY Support Team is to promote the learning of practical skills which would enhance self-reliance. Some of the ways a DIY team can provide such support is by making tools available through a lending library, holding repair workshops and providing a makers space.

The previous members of this team conducted a survey, held an online auction and garden tool repair workshops to raise funds for a Tool Library. New members are needed to take the next steps. If you are interested in being a part of this team, please email quadraicansociety@gmail.com

Current Projects

Quadra Tool Library

This project is waiting for a new team. In 2020 a group of enthusiastic and capable volunteers brought the idea of a tool library to ICAN and formed the DIY Team. Through an online auction and garden tool repair workshops, the group raised approximately $5000. Then, one by one, life moved on for those volunteers. The money is still in the bank. What is needed is a new team to find a location, a building and a process for borrowing. If you would like to help make the Quadra Tool Library a reality, please email quadraicansociety@gmail.com

Future Projects?

In the future, the DIY Team envisions a large facility for sharing tools, materials, and skills. It will include making and learning spaces for both individual and community-wide projects. Discussion is now underway regarding a site for the maker space.
