In this year of COVID-19, the Grinch has been hard at work keeping us from planning our annual EPIQ HOHOHO Here We Go Again Children’s Christmas Party. Never fear, the community Wellness Centre still has something fun in store for our little ones!
A team of jolly volunteers from our EPIQ (English-speaking Parents in Quebec City) group is offering local English-speaking families the chance to receive a customized video sent to your child(ren) from Santa, Mrs. Claus or a helpful elf. The video would be personalized to your family for a small fee (see payment details below). All of the profits will go towards the 25th annual Community Christmas Hamper Campaign.
Be sure to register before the December 10th deadline. We’re aiming to have your personalized video link(s) in your mailbox by December 17th. Your child(ren) can watch the video over and over again on a smart phone, tablet, or computer screen.
The best news of all is that 100% of proceeds from this project will help make this Christmas brighter for local families who are struggling financially this season. The funds will be used to fill Christmas hampers with lots of goodness. To learn more about this annual campaign, please take a moment to watch this inspiring video. You can bring a smile to your child’s face while supporting a great cause! If you would like to help with this project, please visit the blog page about how you can get involved as a volunteer.

QAC PRESENTS ITS FIRST-EVER VIRTUAL PLAY READING
Greetings dear members, patrons and friends,
In these exceptional times of social restrictions and darkened stages, Quebec Art Company has decided to declare: The show must go on!
In the spirit of old-time radio shows (with a twist of modern technology), QAC is pleased to present its first-ever virtual play
reading.
We invite you to enjoy the quirky comedy You Can’t Take It With You, as performed by a group of talented local actors, all members of the QAC family, from the comfort of their homes.
Beginning Sunday, Dec. 20, at 2 p.m ., you will be able to view this exceptional performance from the comfort of your own home by tuning in to our YouTube channel here:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcAbIAO6flMFE5mADZqfwrg
Written by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman, You Can’t Take It With You tells the story of an eccentric family confronted by social standards and uptight socialites in the 1930s, an era well-suited to the “radio play” format QAC has chosen to present.
As this is a first for QAC, we are excited to embrace this new way of offering community theatre and encourage you to send us your feedback at info@quebecartcompany.com .
As always, we look forward to doing what we love doing … entertaining you!
Please subscribe to our brand new YouTube channel.
Take care of yourselves and one another.
– Cheryl Rimmer , President, Quebec Art Company

Lifelong Learning returns for the second half of our semester. Join on January 21st to say “Hi” and share your holiday stories. Let’s use this to check in and see what’s coming up for LLL.
This activity and all Lifelong Learning activities for the 2020-2021 season are FREE.
Registration is required. Please email Meghan at info@LIfelongLearningquebec.org or visit our NEW facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LifelongLearningQuebec for details.
Open to those who missed this event last year and to those who wish to refresh their work from last year. This is part 1 of the Art of Storytelling series offered during the spring of 2020. Part 2 will be coming up later in the month.
Storytelling is something we do naturally and have done so since the dawn of time (so easy a Caveman could do it). This interactive activity we will teach you to harness your creativity and develop better stories to tell. Whether they are your everyday stories to a fantasy world you tell your grandkids. Learn from the experts at Disney’s Pixar on how to develop our own unique stories while listening to what inspires them to develop such beautiful films.
Don’t let yourself get bored, come play board games with us!
VEQ is proud to invite you to a virtual game night you will not forget! Join us on Zoom, and be prepared to be entertained by a series of games that La Revanche (who will be your MC for the night) has made possible to play in online social settings.
Participating will, of course, be the number 1 take away, but the top 3 scorers will also walk away with prizes—just saying!
To sign up, please send an email to info@veq.ca with your name and the email address where you would like to receive your Zoom link.
Please note:
A household using the same “Zoom window” will play as a team. If you would like to play separately, please sign up using different email addresses and Zoom accounts.
All ages welcome.

We are glad to be able to host in-person events once again!
Did you recently move to the Greater Québec City region and have been finding it difficult to meet people? Are you eager to go out while connecting with others?
Join us either on Friday, March 5th, or Saturday, March 6 to go on a walk lit by torchlights.
While the authorities will allow in-person social gatherings during that week, we still have to comply with the safety measures, like keeping a physical distance from each other and wearing a mask at all times. Still, we’re happy to be able to meet and greet you outside of the virtual world!
At the end of the event, a participation prize will be awarded to a lucky winner of a $25 gift card from the commerce of choice.
*** As per the authority’s guidelines, a maximum of 8 people are allowed to get together in outdoor social gatherings. Make sure you book your spot!***

Ever peruse the aisles of the SAQ looking to try something new but end up buying the same wine you always buy? Have you ever wished you could express your wine tastes better to help you choose? At this activity, we will watch a series of video lectures to learn how to trust and communicate our own taste and aroma preferences. Our professor will guide us through the technical jargon of wineselection to get us on the path to sounding like expert sommeliers.
We can’t venture out to the Ile d’Orleans this year for a proper wine tasting but perhaps a virtual course will help us prep for future excursions.
