There is a building and room change
for this week's presentation.
We will be in the HEALTH STUDIES BUILDING, Room 045
(on the lower level), which is directly to the north of the
Education Building, right on the corner of Princess and 18th St.
The reason for the change is that our presenter will be on screen, coming to us from Winnipeg. This room is best suited for interactive participation between the two sites. While face-to-face is always preferred, it will still be an interesting
(and I think important) presentation and discussion.
Since we will not be in our normal building we will not be able to offer coffee
at this session so please bring your own if you wish.
