We’re bringing Michelle Colussi back to facilitate another weekend Transition LAUNCH Workshop (previously known as Training for Change) because we have been getting quite a few requests from people. So, we invite you to join us. You can find a more informative brochure on our website, plus a poster if you would like to promote this event in your neighbourhood. Thank you to One Straw Society for sponsoring the hall rental.
The next level Transition workshop is THRIVE and that will be held in Gibsons on Saturday April 26th, 2014. Visit our website for more information. Registration for THRIVE will be open soon.
