SUMMARY:Lifelong Learning - Numerology
DESCRIPTION:This event is open to all adults age 50+ in the Quebec City area. \nFACILITATOR: Boni Jean Stafford \nWhat is numerology and how does it work?\nSpecifically\, the study of numbers and their energetic influence in your life. According to numerologists (people who practice numerology)\, numbers have a far deeper meaning than their numerical value and can offer insight on unique characteristics\, future events and even your life purpose. \nBoni Jean Stafford is a Lifelong Learning member\, she has lived in Quebec City for 4 years\, working on her French. She learned about Numerology in 1974 and she would like to share the basics with fellow Lifelong Learning members. Join in for an interactive session and find out what your life lesson is and if it is compatible with your name\, along with the cycles we go through in our own lives. \nTO REGISTER: email Catherine at info@lifelonglearningquebec.org\, or call 418.681.1258. Space is limited. \nSign up for the Lifelong Learning mailing list for updates on activities. Questions or concerns? Contact Catherine at 418.681.1258.

SUMMARY:Online Kahoots game: Les phénomènes de la nature
DESCRIPTION:  \nWhen learning a new language\, it is inevitable to sometimes get lost in translation. My beginnings in French were quite hilarious and often embarrassing\, but at least it made me giggle. I remember that at first\, I used to think that the “hôtel de ville” was a hotel chain\, like Marriott\, Hilton\, Barceló\, etc. \nDid you know that Québec City is among the top ten of the snowiest cities in Canada?  One of the recommendations that you will often hear is “check the forecast daily” and with all due reason\, especially in the winter. It is important though to learn the vocabulary and expressions associated with the natural phenomena\, which is why VEQ in collaboration with Canadian Parents for French is organising this fun game night. \nAt the end of the game\, the winner of the game will get an electronic $30 gift card. Another gift card will be raffled among all participants. \nTo register for this fun activity\, please click here. \n
