Format: The session will be offered virtually via MS Teams. Join for the full session or drop in, and you can choose to take a break at any time during the session.

You are welcome to share/ask your own questions or simply observe these sessions to learn from ongoing discussions in the group. Typically, some planned questions for discussion will be shared with the group before the session each time and the group can also suggest topics/questions for discussion as well. Participants are invited to introduce themselves at the beginning of the session (this is optional).
Materials: Participants are not required to bring materials.
Platform Access Information: The event will be delivered using MS Teams. To learn about the accessibility features on MS Teams and how to use them, you can read more about the overview of accessibility features and watch the MS Teams video tutorials.
Technology & Sound: The session will require a computer or device with MS Teams installed (some features may not be available on a browser/web version), with a built in microphone and speakers.

Please note, Microsoft Teams is required to participate in this event. Here are instructions on how to download the application - it works better when you use the desktop version rather than the web version.
