The Carpentries Canadian Regional Coordinators will be hosting a Community Discussion on Monday, October 7th at 18:00 UTC as a follow-up to our last call about constructing The Carpentries in Canada.

During this call we will cover several topics including:

Establishing instructor communities in any city that has potentially interested coordinators,
Recruiting community members to assist coordinating activities from a national perspective,
Expanding Canada’s administrative team,
Exploring the development of Carpentries related programming for the National Science & Engineering Research Council (NSERC) Undergraduate Student Research Awards (USRAs), and
General discussion of any topics that participants would like to raise.

Anyone interested in the future of The Carpentries community in Canada is invited to attend and contribute. Please sign up on the Etherpad. We hope to see you there.

Are you in Canada and interested in growing the Canadian Carpentries Community? Join us for a Community Discussion on May 22nd at 12:30pm Eastern to get this growth started. In this call you’ll have the opportunity to connect with Canadian Carpentries community members and learn how to empower instructors to run more workshops in more locations across Canada. The Canadian Regional Coordinators (John Simpson and James DesJardins) will be on hand to give a summary of the workshops that are currently offered and to answer any questions about the process that might come up. By the end of the call we hope to have a volunteer or two join us as we continue coordinating the growth of the Canadian Carpentries Instructor Community. Participants will leave with ideas they can implement in their local community for growth and development.
