DIY Programs

Alternate ways for you to access our programs

Learning is a lifelong process, and “experts” can come in all shapes and sizes.

DIY Programs to inspire you!

There are many ways to gain knowledge, and we believe that DIY education is a valid and equitable way to learn things that interest you!

Learning in community, directly from culture bearers is a rich experience, but we understand that coming to King Street Station is not feasible for everyone. With that in mind, we have created a few DIY offerings in order to provide alternate ways for you to access our programs.

We don’t want to be gatekeepers of information; we aim to provide a variety of resources that will set you on a path of exploration. Our goal is to inspire you to follow threads that you find interesting.
