LOCAL EVENTS – Please join us!

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, around the world festivals, sporting events, community workshops and celebrations are being cancelled or postponed. We support these decisions but also understand the important role these events play in community life. They serve as an emotional connection to share a common experience, and they build stronger, more resilient communities. We have moved to offering our event experiences online and in person with Social Distancing Precautions in place. Be an active part and join us in our virtual workshops, peer support groups, get togethers and gaming opportunities. If you are jhaving trouble connecting, have difficulties with high speed internet or lack the devices that enable you to be an active part, please phone your local CIL – we can help! And be ready to return to our in person events in full force when it is safe to do so. We love our communities!
