NOTICE:
This is a new rule I'm implementing to ensure as many people to enjoy the "high value" of connection, collaboration, and growth that these community building experiences offer... and of course the content (whether it be crafting, food related, wellness related, woodworking, Indigenous culture, etc).

By participating in this community building experience, you are not eligible to register for the next two community building experiences I offer. The This rule will apply moving forward into 2026.

The next community building experience you'll be eligible to register will be in February -- details will be live online in the 2nd week of January.

Fyi, I'm a resident of Sunalta that organizes resident-driven community building experiences (as a volunteer, not paid).

I have no connection to the Sunalta Community Association which offers their own programming... however, I will be collaborating with them in Q1 2026 on a Food Literacy Series (more info on that to come).
