 				<h1>About Protospace</h1>
 				<div class="entry">
 					<p>
 						Protospace is a volunteer-run, non-profit makerspace in Calgary, Alberta. We bring together
 						artists, builders, hackers, engineers, and curious people who want to learn, make things, and
 						share what they know.
 					</p>
 					<h2>A place to make things</h2>
 					<p>
 						Our 6,500-square-foot space includes dedicated areas for woodworking, metalworking, sewing,
 						electronics, laser cutting, 3D printing, machining, welding, and larger projects. Members
 						can use shared tools and workspaces around the clock, with training available for equipment
 						that requires an orientation.
 					</p>
 					<p>
 						Explore the <a href="/the-space/">spaces and equipment</a> available to members, or visit the
 						individual pages for the <a href="/wood-shop/">wood shop</a>,
 						<a href="/metal-shop/">metal shop</a>, <a href="/laser-cutters/">laser cutters</a>,
 						<a href="/sewing-room/">sewing room</a>, <a href="/electronics-lab/">electronics lab</a>,
 						and <a href="/3d-printers/">3D printers</a>.
 					</p>
 					<h2>Community-powered</h2>
 					<p>
 						Protospace has no owners, employees, or shareholders. The space is run by its members,
 						who volunteer their time to maintain equipment, teach classes, organize events, and keep
 						the community welcoming. Beginners and experienced makers are equally welcome.
 					</p>
 					<h2>Come visit</h2>
 					<p>
 						The best way to get to know Protospace is to come to our open house, every Tuesday from
 						7:00 pm to 9:00 pm, including holidays. Drop in for a tour, meet members, and see what
 						we are building. You don't need to register.
 					</p>
 					<h2>Protospace FAQ</h2>
 					<p>We receive a number of repeat questions in our inbox:</p>
 					<p><strong>Do you offer day rates?</strong></p>
 					<p>
 						No, we are not set up to host and monitor users on a per day basis. We don&#8217;t have
 						staff, everything we do is done by our wonderful and amazing volunteers!
 					</p>
 					<p><strong>Can I just join for a month to do my one project?</strong></p>
 					<p>
 						Not exactly, as a new member your first month is a probationary month where you are unable to
 						use the space alone. Also, the training courses necessary to use certain equipment may not be
 						offered at times convenient to facilitate this. That said, we are not a like gym and there
 						are no contracts so you are free to cancel or pause your membership at any time with no
 						penalties.
 					</p>
 					<p>
 						<strong>Can I get immediate/urgent access to your space to do my school project or that thing I
 							left to the last minute?</strong>
 					</p>
 					<p>No, all new members must go through the same new membership process described above.</p>
 					<p>
 						<strong>I need to do just one small thing, but it&#8217;s urgent or I don&#8217;t have the
 							skills
 							to do it. Can someone do it for me?</strong>
 					</p>
 					<p>
 						You are welcome to post a commission request on
 						<a href="https://forum.protospace.ca/c/chattymcchatface/commissions/35" class="external">our forum</a>.
 						However, please be aware that there is <strong>no guarantee</strong> that we have any members
 						willing or able to take on your request. It&#8217;s up to you to work something out with a
 						member.
