    Dear Friends,

    With Fall in the air, can Thanksgiving and Western Half-Yearly Meeting (WHYM) be far off!? It’s time to make your plans to join in the richness of Quaker community.

    This WHYM will again have 3 components: online, in person, and hybrid (online access to in person sessions). The hybrid portion may not be as stellar as last year as we no longer have our super tech.

    WHYM is Friday evening October 11 to Monday morning October 14, 2024 (Thanksgiving weekend)

    In Person:

    Here is the information for the in person gathering taking place at Camp Kannawin on Sylvan Lake, near Red Deer Alberta. This is where we met last fall. Please read this information sheet carefully.

    Here is the registration form to attend in-person – Note: in-person registration closes October 1st if you want to eat, sleep, or be in Worship-Sharing groups.

    Online:

    Here is the registration form to attend online – Note: online registration will remain open.

    Everyone:

    Schedule is here.

    Please let me know via WHYM Clerk (whym-clerk@quaker.ca) if you have any questions or if any of the forms or links do not work!
