Events
Keep up to date on all the details of EDUCT's forthcoming events.
Our response to Covid-19: As we go to press, Covid continues to infect people, government controls are minimal and yet some health officials are still encouraging us to exercise caution and wear masks in public if we feel more comfortable. Given this air of uncertainty, and the history of waves of new variants of Covid and the everchanging government cautions on public gatherings, we will decide how to stage each event about six weeks prior to that event. We shall retain the online format for a few events each year, given the ease of access this offers to those members living far from Toronto.
