Survival Kits - Lethbridge E1091

When: 25 May, 1:00–3:00 p.m.
Where: Edmonton - Sir Wilfred Laurier Park (Site 7)

When preparing for the rugged Alberta wilderness, assembling a well-rounded survival kit is essential for both safety and confidence on the trail. A reliable kit should include dependable fire starters to keep you warm and signal for help, as well as sturdy cordage for shelter building, gear repairs, or unexpected emergencies. Adding comprehensive emergency and first-aid supplies and basic tools ensures you’re ready to handle injuries or sudden changes in conditions. With these items packed and ready, you can head into your next adventure knowing you’re equipped for the challenges and surprises the wild may bring. Participants will create their own kits based on their own activities in the wild.

Beginner Ballroom Dance Workshop - Spruce Grove D E991

When: May 30 9:30 sign in, 10am workshop begins.
Where: Holy Trinity Catholic Church, Spruce Grove

Our ballroom dance workshops are a great place to have fun while learning the basics of ballroom dancing. You will not only learn the basics - like how to waltz, rumba, fox trot and jive - instructors Mike and Michele Barter will also teach ballroom etiquette. These workshops have trained several generations of homeschoolers in the art of ballroom dance. Students and parents benefit from the training in social graces as well as the opportunity to spend time with other home schoolers. 

This is not a drop off program. If your student is not accompanied by an adult, they will not be able to participate in the program.

Anyone under the age of 18 will need to have a registered parent or guardian present at the workshop/ball.

Open to non-WISDOM families; WISDOM families take precedence.
