The vision of GSM is to create a sustainable model for building resilient communities, skill building, approach design using appropriate technology and permaculture.
La vision du GSM est de créer un modèle durable pour bâtir des communautés résilientes, développement des compétences, la conception de l'approche utilisant la technologie et la permaculture approprié.

We collaborate and build in our decentralized maker community located in Gatineau. We use permaculture design and sustainable (or appropriate) technology: Aquaponics, multi-stage water barrels, rocket-stove ovens, low-tech gardening, reuse building technology and many other projects. Our locations are in Hull and beyond - and could be in your space as well, however we are centred around Gatineau. This group is intended as an incubator for sustainable businesses, sharing knowledge, skills and tools while forming a stronger, more resilient community.
Themes: Ecological Engineering, Appropriate Technology
- Buckminster Fuller (see the film "Ecological Design: Inventing the future")
- E.F. Schumacher - "Small is Beautiful"
- Ivan Illich: "Tools for Conviviality"
Current Inspirations:
1. Makerspace movement (ex: Artist's Asylum:
2. Urban Farming (ex: Wil Allen's Growing Power in Milwaulkee).
3. Open Source Ecology (Marcin Jakubowski)

Bâtissons, collaborer et participe dans une communauté à Gatineau autour de la technologie durable: aquaponique, multi-stade de barils d'eau, fours fusée-cuisinière, low-tech jardinage, la technologie de construction de réutilisation et de nombreux autres projets. Ce groupe est conçu comme un incubateur d'entreprises durables, partage des connaissances, des compétences et des outils tout en formant une communauté plus forte est resilient.

Youth, and particularly engineering students may be interested for several reasons.
1. Introduction to Ecological Engineering and appropriate technology.
2. A great way for student engineers to learn and gain their confidence while leading projects within a community setting.
3. They can start practising project management (decide on the requirements, resources, budget, skills required, time management, work with the public, do research on materials and concepts).
4. Young engineers may want to contribute toward their P.Eng doing these projects.
5. They can consider starting a sustainable makerspace in their own community.
7. They can also consider being entrepreneurs in engineering working with appropriate technology.
