Fix-Up Factory is a Youth 20/20 Can initiative in partnership with the Vancouver Island Regional Library to promote repair vs. disposal. The event is on Saturday, May 27, 2023, from 10:30 am - 4 pm at the Nanaimo Harbourfront branch.
We are looking for volunteer 'fixers' to help community members repair broken/damaged items. The 'Fix-Up Factory' is a chance to share your skill and expertise to help someone else prevent items from going to the landfill. In return, you can advertise your services at the event.
If you would like to volunteer to be a 'fixer' at this event, please email youth2020cannanaimo@gmail.com. Please note fixers can volunteer for part of the day (10:30 am - 1:30 pm or 1:30 - 4 pm) or the entire day. We would be grateful if you could share this information with your network.

Youth 20/20 Can, in partnership with the City of Nanaimo, presents The Wisdom of Trauma movie screening featuring Dr. Gabor Maté and a panel discussion with professionals.
In The Wisdom of Trauma, we travel alongside physician, bestselling author and Order of Canada recipient Dr. Gabor Maté to explore why our western society is facing such epidemics. This is a journey with a man who has dedicated his life to understanding the connection between illness, addiction, trauma and society. For over a decade he worked in Vancouver’s Downtown East Side with patients challenged by drug addiction and mental illness.
“Trauma is not what happens to you. Trauma is what happens inside you, as a result of what happens to you.” — Gabor Maté
The screening is on March 10, 2023, at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre. Doors will open at 5 PM, and the event will start at 5:30 PM. Following the 88-minute movie, we will have a panel discussion with professionals in the field.
We would like to thank Mosaic Forest Management for sponsoring the event.

On March 3rd from 6-8pm, join Jody Lewis and the NCA family to mark the opening of this gallery showcase.
Jody Lewis, maker behind Good Wheel Ceramics, took a road less traveled to find his way as a full-time potter. After completing his undergrad in biology and then starting his Public Health Master’s in 2018 Jody was introduced to ceramics and quickly became immersed. The obsession grew into a passion, and when the pandemic hit, his wife Robyn, encouraged Jody to use the time to create what is now Good Wheel Ceramics. This focused time in his studio allowed Jody the space to develop three distinct lines of pottery. Each line showcases a unique aspect of the artist’s creativity, from neutral minimalism, to island-inspired hues, to modern elegance. Good Wheel Ceramics is made up of dinnerware, dishes and homewares that contain cozy tactical feeling, while maintaining simple elegance.
In preparation for launching his production studio in Qualicum, BC, Jody has spent 4 month in an intensive Artist-in-Residency focusing on honing his product line and business. To celebrate the conclusion of his residency, he will be showcasing his work at the Nanaimo Ceramic Arts Gallery from March 3rd to 17th. Visitors to this end-of-residency showcase will have the opportunity to experience Jody’s work firsthand as well as exclusive opportunity to pre order dinner ware.
