An info session this afternoon as the ElderCollege in Campbell River shows what it has to offer for anyone 50 years and older.

Thirty-seven in-person courses are available to anyone 50 and up.

Topics include, art, crafts, city planning, environment, health, history, cultural exploration, investing, music, photography, research, technology, travel and writing, and more.

The spring programs run from March to May and are single-day or short-run courses on a variety of topics, with the goal of celebrating lifelong learning, with no tests or pressure.

Funds raised through ElderCollege course fees go to create two $1,000 bursaries that support North Island College students.

Today’s session is happening at the NIC Campbell River Campus Common, across from the library, from 130pm to 3pm.

Find more information and course details at North Island College.
