October Round-Up:
- On October 10, 2023, some SSEN members participated in a Thanksgiving Luncheon organized by MCDC and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
- Our Community Engagement and Outreach Manager, Moumy, went to Kinnearâs Mill to animate a semi-precious stone bracelet-making workshop on October 11. Seniors really loved the activity and they were quite proud of the creation they made themselves.
- We held our first Game Night of the season on October 13 and members who were present really enjoyed their evening! It was so nice to see some new faces we did not have the chance to meet yet. Thanks to everyone who joined.
- Our South Shore Kids Clubâs Blooming Bunnies met for the first time this Fall, on October 16. We also met on October 30 to have a Halloween theme reading session followed by a dance party and ended it with surprise Halloween treat bags handed to the kids. What joy it was to see the kids and their parents! We had so much fun!
- Our âHenna Timeâ was so successful! Everyone loved the experience, whether it was testing the henna, hearing cultural answers from our artist, getting their henna design, socializing, listening to the wonderful relaxing oriental music we had, or simply feeling special by being among us! SSEN is definitely a wonderful place to be!
- We had a great bracelet-making session with the CASP-CH class of Quebec High School. They loved being in their pjâs and being creative!
- Another beautiful activity we participated in was the Halloween Fair organized by Maison de la Famille Chutes ChaudiĂ©re! We had a great time! We had about 500 participants who all went home feeling happy! SSEN provided the spooky âScary Kioskâ which was quite loved!
- On October 24 & October 25, we had a great NPI retreat at Lac Delage where we got to meet many of our colleagues from different organizations that serve the English-speaking Community.
- We have a very exciting partnership with New Liverpool Elementary School! We went there couple times this month and had lots of fun with the kids making slime and bracelets. This time, we were lucky enough to work with two Gr. 1 classes, two Gr. 2 classes, one Gr. 3 classe, one Gr. 5 class and one split Gr. 5/6 class. Every trip was worth it. Thanks NLES.
- On October 28, our staff and board members met in Scott to work on our Strategic Planning. Thanks to Walling Consulting for all of their support! We had a great day!

NATIONAL CHILD DAY
