Happy New Year! We hope you all had a great holiday season.

We are celebrating the New Year with new premises in Northbrook. We have moved the site next door from Unit 3 to Unit 2. This will allow us to work more closely with our Employment Service neighbours, Career Edge, and provide a safer work environment for us all.

The afternoon workshop takes place at Kennebec Hall (Arden Community Centre) from 12:30 to 3:30 pm, Thursday, November 10, 2016.

We are very excited about the new Digital Drop-in Centres that we are starting in various communities throughout the Northern Frontenac and Lennox & Addington region. Thanks to our Ontario Trillium Foundation grant for the “Alleviating Social Isolation through Technology” (ASITT) project we have seven Drop-ins set up and more will follow. The Drop-ins will offer free Wi-Fi and use of computer and other digital equipment (printer, tablets, ipad, digital camera, etc.). There will also be Digital Coaches on-hand to give some advice, quick how-to’s and assist with minor digital “challenges” and questions. There is a schedule below or look at our Calendar page for locations, dates and times. Don’t forget to check back regularly, as we will be offering more in the future. Please contact us for more info.

Is all this new technology scary? If it is why not try one of our new mobile device workshops? We are offering Introduction to Computers (Windows 10 computer or tablet), and Managing your Android (tablet or smart phone). You can bring in your own equipment or if you don’t have one yet, reserve one of ours to try.

Learn to use a laptop, Windows 10 tablet, ipad or iPhone this fall at our Northbrook site. You can bring your own equipment or reserve one of ours to try out. Fun, relaxed classes for beginners or those who want to learn a little more.
