Hey Mega,
We are already doing genetic engineering at DIYbio Toronto with the help of Synbiota (I also work at Synbiota). In Canada we don't need any formal permission to work with the type of genetic engineering we're interested in (transgenic e.coli). Permission Free Innovation Lives! ... You just have to come to Canada to experience it.
You can check out the group's work (lab book, DNA, etc.) here: https://synbiota.com/projects/sciencehack-diybioto/summary
Can you tell me a bit more about your Vector? Perhaps DIYbio Toronto can assist? Let me know!
Regards,
Connor

Nice!Do you have/intend to get S1 permission to try basic genetic experiments in common?If I get my vector assembled, you can have it. It should be a legal genetic engineering experiment that does not require a certified lab (cisgenic, or "self-cloning"). Gotta check with Canadian laws though. Plus I can't promise what I don't have yet. Hopefully assembly will work and it really produces the pigment ;)

The Space Channel recently did a little piece on us, and I figured I would share it here for those who are interested to see what's happening in biohacking in the Great White North.

As you can see we've got a proper space now that's equipped with a decent beginners wetlab. As always, we're looking to connect with interested folks (both near and far) who might want to learn more about biology with us. We're also looking for opportunities that can help us propel our community forward.
Everyone is welcome at DIYbio Toronto, so if you are even in town, please look us up!
