The Cummings Centre Program Department understand the importance of lifelong learning and staying active – mind, body and soul. We have been working hard on developing a curated list of resources to share with members. At the same time, we are brainstorming how some of our in person offerings can be moved to an online format so that we can stay connected and engaged from home.
