Community Halls Forum – May 20

Community Halls help communities thrive. At these shared spaces across PEI people can connect and support each other through social, educational and leisure activities. All are invited to attend a Community Halls Forum on Wednesday, May 20, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Village Musical in Abram Village.

This forum provides an opportunity for staff, volunteers, and board members of community spaces to come together to network and learn from each other. There will be opportunities to hear about best practices and lessons learned from other Community Halls and a workshop to help your organization tackle the challenge of volunteer recruitment and retention. There is no charge for the forum, and all are welcome. Register HERE today.
