At the Table

If you need help applying for the new  Ontario Energy Support Program (OESP) credit for your Hydro bill, come see the Peer Advocates during our office hours.

We are cranking up the power and opening up the floor for you to come and share with us whatever you have to share.  Come join a welcoming and supportive group of people: poets, performers, musicians, ranters, comedians and fellow local culture creators and connoisseurs, as we chase away the winter blues and blahs with fun and food and festiveness.

On January 18th come join Bonita Ford to learn how to use collaborative communication to:  

·      talk through those tough conversations that you need to have

·      focus on solutions to the real needs and issues in disagreements

·      stay open to listening when emotions are making it easier to get lost in misunderstandings

Dinner 4:30-6pm    Movie at 6:30

Two opening shorts:

The European Refugee Crisis and Syria Explained & Most Shocking Second a Day Video
