Yesterday we held our Annual Members’ Barbecue and a great time was had by all!
Thank you to our Youth Ventures participants that came out to share their products – beautiful work from talented creators!
Thanks also to the EmpowerNL staff and volunteers that were able to attend, for all their hard work and care.
Special thanks to our Member Services Coordinator Amanda Lush and her summer student for putting everything together and running the show.
We truly hope everyone enjoyed themselves (and the lovely weather)!

Don’t miss our Annual Members’ Barbecue this Saturday! It’s time for you to chill and us to grill!
This year, we are returning to a traditional Garden Party BBQ. Join us for some fun and enjoy some music, hamburgers and hot dogs. Don’t forget everyone’s favourite – bingo, spin wheels and a few other games of chance.
We will also have some of our Youth Ventures participants with tables selling their goods. (If that interests you, make sure to bring some money.)
