First Workshop of the Season

Yesterday we had our first workshop in our conference room at the new location (45 Charles St. East).  I’m pleased to report that it went great.  It’s a great room for the kind of workshops we put on as it fosters interactivity.

Hopefully you’ll see it sometime soon as the majority of our workshops will now be held here.

Acknowledgement of Traditional Land

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the Wellesley Institute operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
