Message from Circle of Wisdom Team
I would like to thank all the Elders & Seniors who become actively involved on our programs through Microsoft Teams, Facebook Chat Room, I know it’s been hard on everyone in trying to figure out how to log in, turn the camera on or the sound button.
Through trail & error, we have found out that ZOOM, is the easiest one to use. If you need help, please call 587.350.4789.
If you need a laptop for our workshops or classes, please let us know, we will drop one off you for the day.
Thank you for joining us for Game Day.
Grandmother Circle, will continue to meet online, notice of next meeting will be email.
Grandfather Circle, is a newly formed circle where Grandfathers can support each other in the Grandfather role/responsibilities.
