A new event, just for the Manotick area!
It’s a challenging time in the world, and especially for a quickly-growing village like Manotick. These gatherings are designed to bring neighbours together for a sharing of knowledge, and a chat about our community.
Each of these gatherings will have two parts:
1. A 30-minute Skill Share: community members will volunteer to lead a talk or demonstration of a skill they have.
2. A 30-minute Community Watch chat: Community members will be invited to share their current concerns and challenges, so we can collaborate on how to work on them.
These events have a small fee solely for the purpose of recuperating costs, dependent on the skill share activity—for example, a demo on canning may require us to purchase some canning supplies. If you cannot afford to pay the fee, please email the studio, as a certain number of no-cost seats will be reserved.
October’s Skill Share topic: To be revealed in September!
FAQs
Is the event open to everyone?
These gatherings are for people in the Manotick area. See the map for clarity. However, speakers may come from other areas.
Do I bring anything?
A notebook is recommended.
A folding chair is helpful.
A cup or bottle for tea or water cuts down on waste.
Can I come for only one half?
You can but we prefer you stay for the whole meeting. This allows us to build community, which is the point of these events.
Is this a clay class?
Nope, this is a community gathering!
Who should volunteer to speak for Skill Share?
We are looking for people who can speak to skills that others may find useful around their home or yard. This could include: gardening, baking, canning, internet literacy, pet ownership, party planning, origami, intro to hobbies, etc etc etc. If you have an idea, send the studio an email!

Grounded in science, evidence, and reliable information
