Due to the fact that the community centre is not open, (municipality property and not supervised by a municipal employee), we cannot meet there. Our October general meeting was held over Zoom on Tuesday October 20th. Current members should watch their email for the link to join future meetings. If you require assistance to get set up, please use the contact form in the menu above. If you are not a current member but are interested in attending as a guest, please feel free to contact us as well! ​
