Ongoing Events

Dr. Interested Webinar Series has its first webinar this Sunday, Aug 31 @ 11 AM EST.

We’ve received more signups for the Certificate Stream than expected. Because of this:

  • Priority will be given to officially enrolled Certificate Stream participants
  • Within that group, earlier signups will be prioritized
  • Signups remain open, but the live session link will only be shared if space allows

Don’t worry - all recordings will be uploaded to our YouTube channel, and questions can be answered via Discord or Office Hours.

If space becomes available, we’ll notify Discord only — make sure notifications are on!

We acknowledge that while we operate online, the majority of our team lives, learns, plays, and works on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishinaabe, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples, and that this land is part of Treaty 13 territory. We are grateful to be able to learn and grow on this land.
