OPL and the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa have collaborated to open Ottawa’s first public makerspace entitled Imagine Space. This is the first and only free Makerspace in eastern Ontario. There is one in Toronto and one in Montreal. OPL Centrepoint is a creation and collaboration hub, offering technologies and tools that allow customers to experiment and to create in a social setting. They are built on the premise that knowledge and learning is often better transmitted via sharing, collective problem solving, and task performance. The following cutting edge equipment is available in this Ottawa Imagine Space: Laser cutting Photo, video and audio editing Green screen and video gear Hand tools and electronics Wall-to-wall whiteboard NOTE: The Projet 1500 3D printers are currently offline Bernard Nunan visited the site in order to obtain the use of a green screen and video gear that could be borrowed free of charge from OPL for his collaboration with CPJ. All that is needed now is to find an amateur video producer interested in making the video in return for a max. $2,000 (CAN). Brief History of Project's Inception: In Sept. 2014, Bernard Nunan has been collaborating on a volunteer project with Citizens for Public Justice (CPJ). The iniative was the brainchild of Bernard N.

There is a lot of excitement around the project and we’ll be doing some more detailed planning in the next couple weeks. What do you suggest as the best way to move forward? Who should I contact when we have a more detailed idea of what the video should look like?" Back on Sept 10, 2014, Jim McIntyre of CPJ wrote that "Your idea is getting some traction! We will discuss as a team in the next few weeks, but if you want to pave the way, please proceed! It's a creative idea and, given some of our video material need refreshing, quite timely."
