Save the dates! Online offering September 9th and 16th, and in-person offering October 3rd! Registration is open: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/peace-team-training-registration-1991244502911 Skills trusted in conflict zones worldwide, brought home to keep our communities safe. Online sessions Sept 9 & 16, optional in person Oct 3 More and more, communities are facing hostility, harassment, and threats to their safety — and a lot of us want to show up for the people and places we love but aren't sure how. The wanting is there. It's the how that's missing. This training is the how. Over two evening sessions online and an optional full day in person in Calgary, you'll learn practical skills in nonviolent action, de-escalation, and community-led safety - taught by Nonviolent Peaceforce, who have spent more than 20 years keeping people safe in some of the most dangerous places on earth, from Ukraine to South Sudan. You'll leave with real skills, the confidence to use them, and everything you need to start a peace team of your own - through your church, your organization, or your community. Whether you're showing up for queer and trans communities, standing with immigrant and refugee neighbours, organizing for a ceasefire, or helping keep any gathering safe under pressure, the tools are the same. If you've ever wanted to be a steadying presence when tensions rise, this is where you learn how. The program runs in two parts. The two online sessions are required for everyone. The in-person day is optional — and because it builds directly on the online trainings, completing both online sessions is required before attending in person. You're welcome to take the online sessions only; many people will.How it works

In Torch Song – the two-act revival of Harvey Fierstein’s award-winning Torch Song Trilogy – the life of Arnold Beckoff, a torch song-singing, Jewish drag queen living in New York City, is dramatized over the span of the late 1970s and 1980s.
Told with a likable, human voice, Torch Song follows Arnold’s odyssey to find happiness in New York. All he wants is a husband, a child, and a pair of bunny slippers that fit, but a visit from his overbearing mother reminds him that he needs one thing more: respect.
