Micro-Enterprises
FireStarters
Our LakeCity woodworking shop creates a lot of sawdust! Our FireStarters team of supported employees transform the sawdust and woodchips from our woodworking venture into safe and efficient firestarters. By combining sawdust with paraffin wax and using basic kitchen tools, our team offers a convenient way to get fires burning quickly, while diverting 1200 lbs. of wood waste per year.
Our retail customers can buy Bright FireStarters online or in person at our retail showroom at 386 Windmill Rd.
Please contact us at retail@lakecityworks.ca if you are interested in purchasing firestarters.
Vinland
Tucked inside our woodshop is one of LakeCity’s most unique microenterprises called Vinland. Vinland creates beautiful wooden accessories for wine enthusiasts and makers alike. What makes this particular venture most exciting is that it primarily employs supported employees with support from one on-site employment program coordinator.
Our retail customers can buy Vinland products online at Wine accessories or in person at our retail showroom at 386 Windmill Rd.
Please contact us at retail@lakecityworks.ca if you are interested in purchasing Vinland products.

Custom Commercial Work
Our LakeCity woodworking shop can create anything you can imagine. In years past, LakeCity has been fortunate enough to work with companies such as Cove Ocean, Dalhousie University, Red Space, Volta and White Point Resort. Some of our most popular custom commercial products include boardroom tables, restaurant tables & bars, private POD workspaces and computer workstations. Recently, LakeCity was able to help our friends at Dexter Construction with a large order of custom road barricades. No job is too big for our custom commercial woodworking team.
Commercial customers are encouraged to reach out to our competent retail staff via email at retail@lakecityworks.ca , or via phone at 902-465-5000, to start the custom consultation process.
