Drop-in times are limited based on the available spots showing on the calendar. All attendees must register online to confirm your access to the shop. We are asking each individual to register for no more than two sessions per week, and our online system will enforce this. If drop-in space remains available 36 hours prior to a scheduled session, you will be permitted to book additional drop-in time.

Please note:

1. Users are expected to self-screen for COVID19 symptoms and risks prior to attending drop-in sessions. You must cancel your attendance if you are unable to answer no to ALL of the screening questions. Individuals who cancel in advance will be rescheduled or refunded. Please see the Health Manitoba screening tool: https://sharedhealthmb.ca/covid19/screening-tool/
2. While in the shop, you must wear safety glasses at all times. You should have your own safety glasses, but the shop will have safety glasses that you may use, at your discretion.
3. You must have a dust mask available. Dust masks are available for purchase through the shop. Users may not work with such woods as: Pressure treated, MDF, Particle Board, Cedar, Walnut and so on without first giving all users a warning to wear a dust mask first.
4. Users are encouraged to supply their own earmuffs. The woodshop stock will now be available, if you prefer
5. The woodshop access door (side door at the windows) should be open during drop-in times.

If you are booking your drop-in appointment with a drop-in pass, you must record the number of your pass in your booking. You must provide that specific pass to the supervisor when you check-in. Virtual passes associated with your Safety ID do not need to be supplied to the supervisor.

For experienced woodworkers who want access to the woodshop, most weeks we are open for drop-in use regularly during the week:

• See the calendar for the current schedule - dates do change due to holidays and availability. Summer availability may differ from the above.

The drop-in fee is $20.00 per visit.

***NEW***

Woodworking II classes that are not not fully utilized will be opened for additional drop-in to allow for more weeknight evening drop-in options. These sessions will be marked as "Instructed drop-ins," and are drop-in classes at the Woodworking II level. These sessions will be priced at $30 per session as they are organized classes with an experienced instructor who can help you with your project. In addition to providing more workshop options in the evenings, these drop-ins are a great opportunity for students who are not able to commit to a full 8 week session. Each drop-in is first-come, first-served.

Attendees must supply their own material*, but have access to our tools and equipment to work on their projects. 

Reclaimed lumber of any kind is not permitted to be worked on any of the machines in the shop. Additionally, unmilled logs may not be worked on the machines without proper holding jigs that you must supply.

Drop-In times are supervised by a knowledgeable team of volunteers! Supervisors are not instructors - they are there to ensure your safety, and can help with proper, safe, set up and operation of the machines. They are knowledgeable and able to give advice and answers to your woodworking problems.

Individuals with woodworking experience can volunteer to earn free drop-in passes for the woodshop. Please contact the facility manager at facilitymanager@bronxpark.ca if you are interested in learning more.

PLEASE NOTE: All individuals who wish to use the woodshop for Drop-In are required to have completed our SAFETY ORIENTATION class. The class is 2.5 hours and covers the safety information you need to know to use our facility. Upon completion of the Safety Orientation class, you will receive a SAFETY CARD, which is valid for three years. You must present this card when you attend the drop-in sessions. Visit the classes list to enroll in the next available Safety Orientation.

* There is no storage space available to drop-in users. Attendees must transport their materials to and from drop-in. Attendees on days with back-to-back drop-in who plan to attend both sessions may leave their materials during the dinner break.
