Before you start

6 questions

Three things are conditions of the role: living in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, or Alberta, being legally able to work in Canada as a contractor, and being at every live date and running your studio's weekly session. The full schedule is on the Peer Support page.

Are you legally able to work in Canada as a contractor?

Yes

Not sure

Can you be at every live date? Training on November 2, 4 and 6 (two hours each), onboarding on Monday, November 16, the kickoff on Wednesday, November 18, and the wrap-up on Wednesday, January 27.

Yes

Partly, tell us below

Your studio picks a weekly meeting time between Wednesday and Sunday. Mark all the times you're usually free.

Drag over a marked block to clear it. A day or an hour heading fills that whole line.

Saskatchewan: choose CT. Central time matches your clock from November 1 on, which covers the whole program.

Can you commit to running your studio's session every week from the week of November 23 to the week of January 18? Seven sessions, with a break from December 21 to January 3.
