Meetings On Hold
Unfortunately for the time being we are putting our meetings on hold.
We are looking for new people to help lead our meetings. If you are a current member or someone new you are welcome to help lead the group. Even if you want to lead a meeting once; you do not need to make a long term commitment. You do not need to be an expert on all things IC, or even have a guest speaker. If you want to get people together to talk, vent and support one another that is always welcome!
We are open to new times and meeting places.
We will be resuming meetings some time in the New Year, maybe in a new time and place.
The email will still be monitored and we have a private Facebook group that anyone is welcome to join. To receive an invitation send an email to info.icvancouver@gmail.com
