WCL Youth Improv!

This summer join us at the Westmount Community League for a splash into the dynamic and engaging world of IMPROV for youth in grades 4-6. Over the course of three Tuesday evenings (July 30th, August 6th and August 13th), students will dive into the world of improvisational theatre, learning to think on their feet and collaborate with peers- all while having a blast! This free workshop is limited to 15 participants and we ask that each participant is able to attend all three dates. Sign up at the form below.

Great job Westmount! We may not have cracked the top 10 but the 10 ppl who regularly biked probably have stronger legs, fast bikes and a healthy dose of fresh air on the regular! 😀 way to participate in something fun! If you are out on your Sunday bike ride you can get a cookie at Sugard and Spice - on Whyte - a handy little CL membership card will do the trick!

We still need 15 more volunteers needed for Westmount's Casino.
