Come discover the secrets of composition in photography with professional photographer Jacques Gaines
With the help of professional photographer Jacques Gaines, the Morrin Centre offers a series of five photography workshops. Each workshop will present a different aspect of photography, from framing to photo-editing.
In this workshop, Gaines will discuss the secrets behind photography composition.
Participants may either audit the workshop (attend just to watch) or bring the following items to actively participate in the exercises:
A camera. Whether a $100 camera or a $5000 camera, we do not care. Anything goes! It can even be your phone, though it should then be a fairly recent phone.
The picture you are most proud of. It can be a digital copy or a print. (You do not have to show it to the class).
In addition to that, please:
Dress for the weather outside. After the workshop, for those willing, the teacher will sometimes do a small photo walk if we have the time.
Make sure you have eaten before coming. It’s not fun having a student in a bad mood!
You are an English-speaking newcomer, eager to join the workforce and flourish professionally; a look at the nooks and crannies of Quebec City’s job market may give you the head start you are looking for.

Parenting is always a challenge, but perhaps even more so in our uncertain times. It seems more complex to be a parent these days, considering new social media technologies and the major global issues encroaching on our everyday lives, such as the pandemic. Join us for this, our first in-person parenting workshop since the pandemic. Our special guest speaker is renowned psychology professor Dr. George Tarabulsy, who is also a father himself. All parents welcome!
About the workshop
Dr. Tarabulsy will address some of the old, not-so-old, and new issues surrounding parenting. He will focus on the fact that, while some aspects of parenting never change, the core aspects of parenting may take on different forms when faced with pressures that may come from outside the family and the social context that surrounds it. His presentation will draw both on the first-hand experiences of parents and on the vast body of scientific knowledge looking at parenting in adverse circumstances.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
Don’t miss this event for seasoned parents, new parents, and future parents-to-be. Join us at 6:30 p.m. for tapas and meet and mingle with other English-speaking parents. The talk will start at 7:00 p.m., and will be followed by a question and answer period.

The Quebec Conferences were two in a series of high-level strategic meetings held by Allied leaders during World War II, the first from 10-24 August 1943 and the second from 11 to 16 September 1944. The future course of the war was planned at these meetings where Prime Minister Winston Churchill and President Franklin D. Roosevelt came to Quebec City to discuss war strategies. Charles André Nadeau, a former QCT writer and historian,has written a book about the Quebec Conferences of 1943 and 1944. The book is currently being edited and it is hoped it will be ready for publication by 2023to coincide with the 80th anniversary of the first of the two conferences. Join Charles-André as he walks us through these historical meetings that took placehere in Quebec City.

Did you recently move to the Greater Québec City region and have questions about the provincial health care system? In 2018 Jeffery Hale Community Services, the Community Wellness Centre, and the Voice of English-speaking Québec put together a comprehensive guide with the intention of helping newcomers navigate the medical system here in Québec City with a little more ease and efficiency. Since then, we provide a space for newcomers to meet other newcomers while having their doubts cleared out by either a nurse or a social worker from the JEFF (as we colloquially refer to the Jeffery Hale Community Services).
