About YLab

We are York Region’s first maker space. We’re all volunteer, non-profit and member supported, with a wide variety of interests. We’ve been operating our maker space in the basement of the historic David Dunlap Observatory administration building in Richmond Hill.

More About What We Do

We host tech talks, classes and seminars at the DDO and in other location. Most importantly, we work on projects and help each other. It gets better every week.

We welcome anyone who interested in software, Arduino, 3D Printing, laser cutting, robot making and toy hacking, amateur radio and whatever else we can think of.
