UPCOMING EVENTS

Happy Fall to our WCE Community! We hope everyone had a fun and relaxing summer.
We're dropping a line to let you know about some exciting job opportunities with our sponsor companies and to give you a preview of our fall programming. Before our summer break, we were eagerly awaiting the day that we would see all of our lovely WCE friends in person again this fall, but we're not quite there yet! We will continue our programming virtual until we feel confident in our ability to plan safe in person events, and are watching provincial health orders and other like-minded communities responses to the ongoing pandemic.

Until then, we look forward to resuming our programming online with upcoming events in October and November!
