Turns out Edmonton Comic Expo is also this weekend and a whole bunch of our regular volunteers are attending that on Saturday.
We’ll cancel the Saturday event, in favour of a whole bunch of us showing up on Sunday to clean. Please join us on Sunday, and if you need a ride, feel free to ask!

Board member Tina put together some resources for us, in order to encourage the city, province and federal governments to ban conversion therapy. Feel free to download these letter templates to use as is, or edit to make it feel more personal.

Sherlock Holmes Trivia host, Cody, is unable to be there this evening and his back up host is also unable to help out, so trivia night is cancelled this week. Sorry for any inconvienience, we only found out today.
This year, Karen is unable to host her annual New Year’s Eve games night.
Board member Margaret has stepped up and is happy to have the get together at her place instead. Cards Against Humanity, as always, will feature.

Apparently Steel Wheels is currently closed, so we will go across the street the other direction to The Next Act 8224 104 street
Some conflicts with the group out in Stony Plain and the original date of December 14th, so please note that this meeting has changed to December 7th.
Apparently there is a late Oilers game on, on the 20th November. Sherlock Holmes has cancelled their trivia night due to this conflict, so we’ll join trivia the week later on the 27th instead.
Due to the weather this weekend we’ve had to push the fall highway clean up back again. Please join us on the 29th and/or the 30th.
Event details here:
We have decided to join in with Westwood Unitarians book club during the months that it runs. The events have already been listed for Nov, Jan, Feb, and March, so you can check out their upcoming book list. April will be added once a book title for that month has been chosen.
In the months they do not have a book club, we will continue with ours on the last Sunday of the month at Second Cup as per usual (with exception of December).
The FreeThinker Book club meets in the basement of the Westwood Unitarian Church at 7:00 PM on the last Wednesday of the month from Oct-March. The format varies but typically begins with a round table check-in and first reactions to the book. This is followed by a free ranging discussion, triggered by questions from other members.
All are welcome – atheists, humanists, agnostics, and theists and of course ‘free thinkers!!
