Okanagan College’s Adult Learning Week proved itself to be a success with local businesses, institutions and non-profit groups joining it to offer Revelstokians new opportunities to expand their horizons. Together they offered a wide range of free workshops and programs ranging from an incredible edible film organized by the NCES and a financial workshop held by Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy to a scrapbook-making class, a Common Threads knitting club session at the library and yoga for beginners at Balu Yoga. It all came to a head on Friday with a party and the presentation of certificates to individuals nominated as a life-long learners. Here are a couple of photos from that event: This week has seen a celebration of life-long learning with workshops of all kinds across the city. This event culminated in a little party at Okanagan College’s Learning Centre on Friday, April 17, where avid learners gathered for coffee, cake and an opportunity to see certificates presented to life-long-learning award nominees.
