We encourage those who are still working on their squares to bead while you listen to the session!
For more information on the project and to stay up to date on upcoming events, head on over to our website. You’ll also find an interactive map of Lake Nipissing under the Project tab. This gridded map shows you some of the tiles that we have received to date, and how they piece together to form a beaded version of Lake Nipissing and adjoining lakes and tributaries.
For those interested in the session but are not able to attend, the presentation will be recorded and then posted to our website and shared on our social media platforms.
Looking forward to seeing those who can attend!
