TransCanada recently donated $500 to support the community education seminars being held at the Cranbrook Public Library throughout October as part of Canadian Library Month. These seminars provide up-to-date information on topics of interest, presented by professionals in each field.
The first seminar, How to Fill Out a Passport Application, was held on October 3, and received rave reviews from all who attended. At the second seminar, An Insider’s Guide to Buying a Car, David Clark, associate consultant at Investors Group, will delve into the ins and outs of financing your new car. He will give pointers on finding answers to questions such as: "Should I lease or buy?" and "What are all those extra fees that get added to the price?" The seminar takes place on Wednesday, October 10 from 7 to 8 p.m.
The third seminar, on Monday, October 15, deals with heart-healthy eating, providing valuable information that will help you make informed decisions about the food you eat. The final seminar, on Monday, October 22, takes a behind-the-scenes look at addictions. All seminars run from 7 to 8 p.m. in the Manual Training School.
Cranbrook’s historic Manual Training School Meeting and Small Conference Centre is a recently renovated heritage building attached to the library available for rent to community individuals, businesses and organizations. The Manual Training School is owned by the City of Cranbrook and managed by the Cranbrook Public Library. Everyone is invited to an open house on Wednesday, October 17 from 4:30 to 6 p.m. find out more about this unique meeting facility.
