Special Presentations
The Wellness, Leisure and Special Interests Series was initiated in the Fall of 2012. The Series was supported by the Government of Manitoba’s Neighbourhoods Alive! – LIFT program, and covered a wide range of topics suitable for both women and men. The presentation topics were chosen to enhance the intellectual, social and emotional well being of the participants.
There were ten presentations in all that included:
- Titanic: the Manitoba Connection (Anya Moodie-Foster of the Manitoba Museum)
- Mature Drivers Refresher Course (Manitoba Safety Services)
- CPR and the Automated External Defibrillator (Canadian First-Aid Training)
- Travel North America, the Caribbean and Europe (Embassy and Colette Tours)
