Shift Lab ended in in 2020, but it’s promising that Shift Lab 1.0 and 2.0 prototypes continue to be developed by independent community members and non profits with generous support from ECF, the United Way and more. 
Some Independent Shift Lab community members have started a spin-off exploration called Edmonton Anti-Racism Lab. Keep an eye out for their work!
