On April 14th, 2018, our members had the opportunity to enjoy a morning of Yoga, learning, prizes and networking!
We all relaxed and de-stressed with a "Chair Yoga" session led by Yoga Instructor Tanja Semenuk.
Tanja Semenuk was kind enough to share her social media info with us:

We continued with a presentation by Anna Bartosik on 'Incorporating Indigenous knowledge in education".
Here are the references and links from Anna Bartosik's presentation that she was able to share with us:
