Connecting with other English-speaking moms and dads can add much needed joie de vivre to your daily life. Parent networking positively contributes to everyone’s sense of wellness and community. That’s why the Wellness Centre at Jeffery Hale invites parents to partake in a pizza party planning session to map out fun activities for the 2016/17 season. We provide the pizza and free parking and you provide the innovative ideas and volunteer power. This year we are also opening the doors to our dads in case they were feeling left out! We may even go so far as to rename the activity … Here’s your chance to get involved and dream big about a new line up of fun activities for English-speaking families in Quebec City. Please send an email to janderson@jhpartners.net to register for this event by noon September 19.
The Morrin Centre, located in the heart of Old Quebec (44, chaussée des Écossais Québec), is seeking volunteers to lead their English Discussion Groups this fall.
There are currently three groups that meet on a weekly basis: Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30 to 7 pm and Wednesdays from 1:30 to 3 pm.
We are looking for friendly, dynamic volunteers who have had some experience teaching or leading a group. Knowledge of French isn’t necessary as the Morrin Centre screens the participants to make sure that they have an intermediate knowledge of English. There is no curriculum to follow, but the discussion leader can help people with vocabulary and pronunciation and suggest topics for discussion.
The groups will begin meeting during the week of September 19th and finish the first week of December.
If you are available on Wednesday afternoons and/or Tuesday and Thursday evenings and are bilingual or a native speaker of English, please contact Rosemarie Fischer at 418 694-9147 – extension 221, or write to info@morrin.org.
