2. Chris Searles, the student-teacher from Seneca College who did his practicum with us in February 2012, has kindly indicated his availability for private English lessons. Please contact him by email at 2012chrislsearles@gmail.com (delete "2012").
It's confirmed and official: this Friday's field trip is a POTLUCK picnic! So please bring a big dish to share!
We'll meet at 10 a.m. at 200 Consumers Road before proceeding to our picnic location, weather permitting. That's Plan A. Plan B is to have the picnic indoors, in class, if the weather is bad.
Please bring your food, comfortable footwear, your camera, and a readiness to have fun!
After the picnic, you'll be enjoying a week's holiday before our LINC school reopens on Monday, July 4. Happy holidays!
Not everybody knows how to camp! It may not be rocket science, but there is a Facebook page dedicated to "EZ Tips" for camping for Toronto city folk. But it's one thing to read or hear about it and another thing to actually experience it, preferably with a guide.
First, the bad news: To help newcomers in Toronto and Hamilton experience the great Canadian outdoors and the joys and pains of camping, Parks Canada, with Mountain Equipment Co-op, is running a Learn-to-Camp event this weekend near Niagara Falls. Well, I just found out; it's too late to join them.
What a grand finale to our class work on Starting a Small Business!
Participants from MicroSkills received valuable information from representatives of Enterprise Toronto, ranging from legal setup (sole proprietorship, partnership, or incorporation), financing, and licencing to war stories from Michael Wolfson, an advisor with 35 years of food industry experience.
Talaat got there first, and then Xiuli. All attendees were given an information pack and an invitation to a free private consultation session.
We wish them the best in their small business endeavours!
Jumping off at Bay Station, our intrepid team of MicroSkills participants and volunteers made our way across a kaleidoscope of downtown scenes, from well-heeled Bay Street to the discalced, dishevelled Bathurst end of The Annex.
The team included Peter, Talaat, Jacquie, Anna, Joan, and Sue.
The above are the latest pictures from Peter's camera. Hope you enjoyed them!
As usual, we will be leaving the Southbound Platform of Sheppard Yonge Station at 9:30 a.m. Please get there a little earlier than that, or you could plan to leave Don Mills Station with your classmates at 9:00 a.m.
FWIW, Honest Ed's, right on the edge of The Annex at the junction of Bathurst and Bloor, is having a fifty-cent sale:
Here's the paragraph to check. You should find at least 3 spelling mistakes and fix them:
