The Creation Nation maker space is made up of over 6000 sq. feet of shared community workspace from woodworking to bike maintenance, sewing and 3D printing shops. It is located in the heart of downtown Brandon (440 Rosser Avenue). The goal of Creation Nation is to bring together the community of craftspeople, artists, innovators, and makers who have the passion to build and create with materials such as wood, metal, plastics, textile, or electronics.
Creation Nation is primarily membership-based with publicly accessible workshops and classes that run throughout the month. Memberships are $50/month (+tax). Student memberships are currently being discounted to $25/month (+tax). Basic training on the equipment is free for members – sponsored by Assiniboine Community College.
Creating Space for Community Innovation!
A Makerspace has a unifying philosophy – that pooling resources together helps us all reach further and achieve more than any of us can on our own. By banding together, we get access to a better, more diverse set of tools and equipment. We build a richer ecosystem of support and knowledge. We inspire one another to dream, and reach for those dreams.
To date, we have received equipment/cash contributions from: Assiniboine Community College, City of Brandon, Cooperators Insurance, Summus, Healthy Brandon, Aurora Project, Province of Manitoba and Mood Disorders of Manitoba. Community support has also been seen from numerous other community agencies, individuals and stakeholders from city council members to the library. We currently have large woodshop tools (table saw, band saw, drill press, planer etc.), 3D printers, vinyl printers, heat press, sewing machines, bike repair stations, small cnc router machine, sublimation printer various computers, electronic equipment and a large laser cutter.
We are looking for sponsorships to help further develop the space and equipment. We are in need of cash sponsorships for electrical upgrades, countertops, storage, lumber, small building tools/supplies, various equipment and even specific expertise.
Here from some of the innovators and hobbyists we have helped with their journeys.
Creation Nation Makerspace is Brandon’s best-kept secret!!! The monthly fee is very affordable and they offer student and family rates! The space has everything from 3D & sublimation printers, CNC router, laser and a great woodworking space!
I’ve been a member for 2 years and I love going to Makerspace. There’s always new people to meet and I enjoy seeing all the cool projects other people are working on. It’s a large workshop space with all the tools you need…
