HOW TO RUN YOUR OFFICE USING FREE SOFTWARE!
...Volunteer Hamilton and Bay Area Leadership presents...
A two-hour workshop will explore some of the alternatives to Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint as well as Internet Explorer, Windows, long-distance calls and the day to day computing needs of a standard office environment.

This two-hour introductory session is for anyone wanting to know more about creating inclusive spaces, work or otherwise, for members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer Community in Hamilton. This training will be of special interest to employers, managers of volunteers and anyone in Hamilton who values equity.
The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer community is estimated to be approximately 10% of our city?s population equalling 50,000 people. Yet, despite this number, Hamilton lacks LGBTQ identified safe community spaces, service and resources. Explore the assumptions, misinformation and apathy that hinder our community?s forward momentum to becoming a ?Quality of Place? for all.
