No Comments on When the Entrepreneur Journey gets Financially Rocky

June 15 @ 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm MDT

The dream of business ownership is magnetic and powerful, the journey is winding and bumpy. We tend not to talk about the bumps in the road, especially financial ones. Financial strain and bumps are part of every entrepreneur’s journey.

In this workshop we will normalize the conversation of entrepreneurial debt, look at warning of signs for overwhelming debt, options for entrepreneurs to tackle personal and business debt, debunk some insolvency myths and look at thriving after debt.

No Comments on Rising Above Burnout: Cultivating a Mindful Workplace

May 11 @ 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm MDT

Join us for an interactive panel discussion on burnout, vulnerability, and the importance of building connections. Our panelists will share their personal experiences with burnout, how they overcame it, and the role vulnerability and connection played in their journey.

Whether you’re a student, recently laid off, or a working professional, the speed networking portion of the event is an excellent opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals, build new connections, potentially find a mentor or support circle that can help you on your journey.

One of the main goals of this event is to normalize conversations around burnout and vulnerability in all environments, whether you’re a student, a job seeker, or a working professional. We believe that by creating a safe space where people can share their experiences and struggles, we can break down the stigma around these topics and promote a culture of openness and support.

We’ll also include a special segment on mindfulness and self-care to promote well-being and relaxation. Through this event, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the importance of vulnerability and connection in preventing and overcoming burnout. They will also have the opportunity to meet new people and build new connections in a supportive and inclusive environment.

So join us for this engaging and interactive event and take the first step towards normalizing conversations around burnout and vulnerability!

No Comments on Canada Learning Code: Webmaking with HTML & CSS

June 20 @ 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm MDT

Doors open at 5:00pm and lecture starts at 5:30pm.

If you are looking to get your feet wet when it comes to coding, then this is the workshop for you. HTML and CSS are the backbone of all websites, and knowledge of them is a necessity if you are interested in things like web development, creating marketing emails, or even blogging! The web without HTML and CSS would be a world without colourful, pretty websites, not to mention the web applications we all use daily. It’s easy to learn, and was designed so that everyone – even non-programmers – can do it. No fancy programs are needed, just a web browser!

This workshop is designed to be a hands-on experience. During the session, you’ll learn:

Basic techniques and concepts that are translatable to other programming languages
The building blocks of how HTML and CSS work together to create richer online experiences
How to create a website with images and a CSS-defined layout
What resources are available if you’d like to continue learning at home (and we think you will)
