UPDATES FROM NOVEMBER 2018

Information Sessions

In the month of November, two information sessions were held:

Basic Computer Skills and Citizenship Test Practice
Preparing for Bad Weather

The Basic Computer Skills & Citizenship Test Practice was held on November 1, 2018.This information session was split into two sessions, the first session was on Basic Computer Skills where our participants learned to communicate via email, attaching documents and typing resumes and more. The second session was on Citizenship Test & Practice. In this session, our participants learned about checklists for the citizenship application, online practice and summary of key information to remember when applying for citizenship.
The second information session was held on November 8 about How to Prepare for severe weather. Our participants were informed on the different types of severe weather, how to be aware of severe weather and what to do before and after the severe weather has struck.
