Coping with Chronic Pain:
A summary of the work by the Canadian Pain Task Force with Dr. Manon Choniere and Dr. Patricia Poulin, members of the Canadian Pain Task Force.
Approximately one in five Canadians live with chronic pain which has significant impacts on physical and mental health, often affecting participation in everyday activities. This presentation will include best practices for the prevention and management of chronic pain.
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.
Reserve your ticket!

The education system in Quebec is unique in many ways. Language laws dictate who is eligible to attend school in English and who is not. Parents and newcomers may find it hard to navigate the school system. The session “School Registration and the English School System in Quebec” will feature a panel of professionals from Central Quebec School Board to help answer your questions.
This online event is for you, if you’ve ever wondered:
- Is my child eligible to attend school in English?
- When and how do we register for Kindergarten, elementary school and high school?
- What school(s) can my kids attend based on where I live? If I am willing to drive my kids to school can they attend a school in another sector of town?
- What are the options in terms of preschool, Pre-K, programme passe-partout, and before- and after-school daycare and how do we access them? What are the related costs? And what services are offered in each program?
- Grade names here differ from those elsewhere. What is meant by cycle 1 and 2 and sec. 1, 2, etc. ?
- Is it true parents of elementary students are often required to pay for noon-time surveillance if their children eat lunch at school? If so, how does that work and what does it cost?
- Why do we have to purchase so many supplies each fall for kids attending public school. Doesn’t the school board provide these supplies? Who will give me the list of what materials my child needs and when?
- I live on the south shore; when will there be an English elementary school on my side of the St-Lawrence?
- What is all the fuss about school boards being replaced by service centres? What impact will this have on my child’s education and our local English-speaking community?
- Québec schools seem to put a lot of emphasis on provincial exams; at what grade do these exams start? How does QCSB compare to other local boards in terms of exam results?
- What is the difference between Québec’s adult education and DEP programs and CEGEP? Can we access these programs in English in Québec City? How do we apply? What programs are available and are there any fees for them?
Click here to register and to get the Zoom info to access this session on your smart phone, tablet, computer, laptop or landline.

Yes, you can overcome the Winter Blues (SAD)! The weather can impact anyone’s mood, but seasonal changes can have even greater effects on well-being. You may start to feel “down” when the days get shorter in the fall and winter and then feel better in the spring, with longer daylight hours. If you notice feeling like a different person depending on the season, you may be particularly sensitive to these shifts.
Take heart! There are things you can do to keep your mood and motivation steady throughout the year. During this Overcome the Winter Blues (SAD) information session with professional psychologist, Dr. Megan Daley, you’ll learn:
- What Seasonal Affective Disorder is
- Various options that could help
- Pros and cons of light therapy and other solutions
- Myths surrounding Seasonal Affective Disorder
Refreshments offered. Free parking available.
For those attending online, you will receive the Zoom link by email after you register.
