To sign up for Hana's class you can set up a time with her on Fridays, for an hour, anytime between 9am to 4pm. She will work with you over the phone to walk you through setting up all the safety measures you can. Classes start on June 11, 2021. Just set up your time with Hana.

If you feel others can learn from your experience, please email us at aed@edmontonseniorscentre.ca.
