Sometimes I find the events and other times they are emailed [me@lizrice.ca] to me. I don't make judgments about events/I post whatever I have time to post; you decide if it's an event that interests you. SCROLL DOWN to see the full list.
Note: Many times I find out about events at the last moment, that's why you need to sign up for email updates. In those emails I also add community info that I think will be of interest. If you change your mind, unsubscribing is just as easy as signing-up.
