Connecting with our Neighbours

 Do you live in Bridgeland-Riverside, Crescent Heights or Renfrew? We want to connect with you! The Women's Centre is very excited to launch a six-month project to get to know our new neighbours. With the opening of our beautiful new centre, we are excited to invite more women in and explore new possibilities for how women can connect with the Women's Centre in a meaningful way. To learn more about the project and how to get involved, visit our website or get in touch with Rhoda. |

Featured Workshops
| |
With fall right around the corner, we have many exciting workshops coming up. Yoga is back due to popular demand and we are also excited to be partnering with the Calgary Public Library to offer a series of basic computer workshops covering introductions to email, Facebook and Microsoft Word.
Basic Car Maintenance | Sept 2 (6-8pm)Do you know what to do if your car overheats or if you get stuck. Do you know when to change the oil in the engine? If not, join us for a session on basic car mechanics. There will be some theory, but you will also have the chance to practice and find specific parts on your car. No children in this workshop please.
Tap to Relax | Sept 10 (6-8pm)Do you feel bogged down, anxious or worried? Join us to learn more about Tap to Relax - a stress-relief technique that is easy to learn. During Tap to Relax, you will tap Chinese meridian points on the face and upper body while talking about something bothering you. This process can generate positive emotions and the feeling of being calm and safe. No children in this workshop please.
Come spend a fall evening with us walking, talking and hearing stories about women who have shaped our City. We are very excited to announce that we will be partnering with Calgary Outlink this year, and have some new content to share with you!
Our workshops & groups are free and open to all women. Click here to see the complete September calendar.
