Items needed include:

Announcing new online skills programming! we have partnered with the national non-partisan charity CIVIX to host the CTRL-F Find the Facts Program!

These workshops are FREE and open to adults of any age.

Now more than ever, there is an abundance of information flooding into our daily lives. And for many of us, no matter your walk of life, it’s becoming harder to navigate what's good or bad information.

In this workshop you will learn skills to help you track, and fact check information on social media. We will also have the chance to discuss how algorithms manipulate what you see, and some skills to cope with online rage bait and click bait. If you've ever been concerned about generative AI, we will discuss that too!

Help yourself escape the doomscrolling cycle, and stay safe online!

There are TWO sessions in Richmond County!
- October 25th and 26th, 1-4 pm in L'Ardoise here at the Health Centre
- November 7th and 8th , 3-6 pm in Petit de Grat at the Public Library!
- Contact Josie to register: 902-587-2800 ext 4 or cepr.dkmchc@gmail.com
