In conjunction with the Foundations workshop, this session focuses on how children’s behaviours are shaped, helping them become competent, secure, and resilient learners.

• Move from conflict to cooperation.
• Find positive ways to address behavioural challenges.
• Develop skills for responding to delays, blocking, fear of failure, fear of success, lack of confidence, and argumentative behaviour.
• Learn nine key areas of living, performance, and stability.
• Engage in personal and group activities that strengthen your ability to identify learning barriers and address frustration.
• Bring your home to a new place of success and peace.

When: March 16, 2026 from 7-8:30pm
Live online + recording for registrants
Cost: $25

We begin with what matters most: your child’s learning and development. We’ll consider how AI tools may influence attention, creativity, and study habits, and what responsible use can look like as children grow into teens and prepare for university. Then we’ll demystify the current AI landscape—what today’s tools can and can’t do and where they’re heading—including text-based systems (like chatbots), image creation, and video creation/editing.

When: 18 March at 7 p.m.

Money and Finance Made Easy: Money can be a mystery. What is it? How does it work? How do I earn it? How do I save it? How do I invest it? Whether we like it or not, money affects us all and is essential to our lives in the twenty-first century. In this course, Travis Callaway will make money and the financial decisions we all encounter simple to understand, using practical examples and real-life scenarios to help students prepare for their financial futures. The course includes six lessons, each focusing on a separate piece of the overall financial puzzle:

1. What Is Money, and How Does It Work?
2. Banking Basics
3. Budgeting and Spending Wisely
4. Credit, Debt, and Credit Cards
5. Saving and Investing for the Future
6. Real-World Financial Decisions

Travis earned an MBA in finance from Durham University and holds the Chartered Financial Analyst designation. He has worked as a private equity analyst, a senior portfolio management analyst, a director of private equity, a managing director of venture capital, the vice president of finance for a technology start-up, and a part-time chief financial officer for several companies. He is an active investor in start-up companies, the co-founder of a finance advisory business, and teaches business and finance at the University of Calgary and Mount Royal University.
