Write-on-line
Monday and Thursday morning Write-On-Sites are now Write-ON-LINES. Write-on-sites have gone virtual to prioritize public health and safety while still maintaining our sense of connection during these isolating times. Virtual write-on-sites will continue every Monday and Thursday from 9 am to 12 pm. Everyone is welcome to write together, apart. Please email Serenity at: joo@cc.umanitoba.ca for the Zoom invite.
