Upcoming Events:

1) Second Annual Parisien Cafe

The Seniors Information Resource Centre (SIRC) in Metchosin is hosting the Second Annual Parisien Cafe event on the grounds of Old Metchosin Elementary School, this Saturday June 6 2015, from 10:00 to Noon.

Artists are welcome to come and set up in the area, do some painting, provide "Parisien" atmosphere for the seniors who come to the cafe. The benefits for the artists are wonderful weather (maybe), delightful company, and absolutely delicious baked goods and tea and coffee (if last year's experience is repeated this year).

It's suggested that artists come half an hour earlier to find a place to set up and get the lay of the land.

If you have any queries, please contact Helen Fletcher (helen.fletcher@shaw.ca)  or Colleen (MetchosinSIRC@gmail.com).
