This workshop has been designed for seniors.
Visit www.preparedbc.ca for public emergency preparation.
Emergencies can happen at any time and without warning so we are offering one-hour workshops to help you become prepared.
You will learn what you should have at home in case you need to shelter in place (stay in your home), and what you to have ready for an evacuation order.
We will discuss ideas about how best to prepare yourself and your loved ones, and decide who your safety people are: those you check on, and those who check on you.
At the workshop, you will receive a free Grab-and-Go bag (while quantities last) that you can start filling with items that are important during a possible evacuation (important phone numbers, medications, first aid kit, etc.)
Workshops will take place at NexusBC. Our address is #102 – 3201 30th Street, next door to Service BC.

Step into YOUR best life with the help of a vision board.
Join us for a free, fun, creative, powerful and inspirational workshop on setting intentions and goals. Using a variety of tools such as magazines and quotes, and a short video introduction, you will build a pictorial representation of your vision – and a powerful way to make your dreams more tangible and attainable. That’s because the very act of creating the vision board tells your mind what’s important. You’re teaching your mind what you want to focus on in your life. Where focus goes, energy flows.
This workshop is open to all ages and intended for those looking for work or new job opportunities.
