Announcements

Pinnguaq Association is inviting proposals from qualified auditing firms to provide independent auditing services.

Pinnguaq is thrilled to announce our participation as a delivery and education partner in three new projects in partnership with DIGITAL, Canada’s Global Innovation Cluster for digital technologies. All three projects focus on strengthening digital skills in rural, remote, Indigenous and other equity-deserving communities.

We’re delighted to announce Pinnguaq’s finalist status in the 2023 CharityVillage Awards in three categories: DE&I (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) Innovators (20+ Staff), Best Nonprofit Employer for Workplace Mental Health (20+ Staff), and Leaders in Youth Advancement (20+ Staff).

Passersby may notice some activity at the former public works building on Peel Street in Lindsay as construction crews transform the space into a world-class STEAM education, entrepreneurship and community hub operated by Pinnguaq Association. 

In 2016, Pinnguaq’s te(a)ch program was given some truly incredible help  – it was awarded an Arctic Inspiration Prize (AIP), to the tune of $400,000. te(a)ch was the name for our in-community delivery program (AKA: Code Club or what you may now know as our Makerspace or Community Workshops). 

Lindsay, ON – Since receiving a $149,800 Resilient Communities Fund grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) in 2022, the Pinnguaq Association has been busy on the refurbishment and enhancement of its Adelaide Street North Lindsay Makerspace. This grant program was developed to help non-profit groups rebuild and recover from the impacts of the pandemic.

The Pinnguaq Association today announced its purchase of the former Public Works Building located at 12 Peel Street in Lindsay, Ontario, and the launch of renovations to create a world-class STEAM education and entrepreneurship centre.

Alyssa Amell, one of Pinnguaq’s Digital Artists, has started at Fleming College for Graphic Design – Visual Communication this fall!

Pinnguaq invites you to participate in an exciting season of’ Virtual Summer Camps!

Pinnguaq is suspending our Makerspace programs until at least April 5, 2020, in response to the spread of COVID-19.
