I was in Vancouver for the holidays (I live near Dallas, TX) and wanted to drop by your space to meet you guys, but when I got to the listed address 270 East 1st Avenue, Vancouver, BC V5T 1A6, Canada I didn’t see any sign for the Vancouver Hackspace anywhere. Is this the wrong address or is there no sign on the building? I ended up going to Science World instead since it was close by.
I forgot to mention that this was on Jan 2 around noon.
Very possible that no one was there, But there wouldn’t have been much to see as we are in the midst of moving spaces.
@Apipe Sorry about that, we moved out on the 31st of December, the website has been updated, not sure when though. Can you let us know where you got the address?
We don’t have any staff so we’re not open particular hours. Next time you’re in town, check out our calendar and drop by our new location when we’re open (about 1km west of the old location).
Hey Alyssa,
We’re really sorry about the mixup!
From about mid-December to this weekend, we’ve been in the process of moving, and are basically shut down.
I’ve been trying to hunt down and change all of the references of 270 E 1st to our new location at 1715 Cook St, but it’s likely I missed some.
Where did you find that address? If it’s on Google Maps, I just submitted a report to Google now.
If you’re in town again, come check out our new location! It is very fuschia.
Yup. Google maps.
I guess I was the victim of bad timing. I’ve been working as a contractor the past couple years and the only time I get off is at xmas and the US thanksgiving in November. I have family in Richmond and Kelowna so I was there mainly to visit with them.
If any of you are in Dallas I would be glad to show you around our place.
Thanks,
Alyssa
