A Webinar with Mark Blumberg
– The 2020 Edition
Presented by Sustainability Network
A great deal has been written about legal compliance surrounding charities in Canada.
Much of that material, however, is highly specialized, hard to understand and sometimes esoteric. As a result, it can be extremely difficult for charities, employees, and volunteers to focus on the issues that are most important.
This webinar provides plain-language information and resources about the CRA compliance obligations of Canadian charities for 2020.
All participants will receive a confirmation email and a link to join the webinar through Zoom. A recording of the webinar and a copy of the presentation slides will be provided to registrants.
How well do you know your local wildlife? Learn about the unique traits and adaptations of animals living in and around urban spaces. During this “spooky edition” we’ll highlight some of the local “creatures of the night” and how they’ve adapted to the dark!
Participants will receive at-home learning activities to enjoy this season.
Costumes are encouraged! This program is intended for families with children.
This workshop is taking place via Zoom. After registration you will be emailed a link to join the webinar.
TRCA is committed to creating an accessible experience for all participants. If you require an accommodation, please email stephanie.parish@trca.ca at least 7 days prior to the event.
