About this event:
Looking to switch up your work-from-home routine? We’re partnering with the Okanagan coLab to offer you the chance to try a free day of coworking!

You’ll be sitting at a workstation near fellow young professionals, all working independently – so bring your laptop, charger, and any other work you want to do! coLab has a fantastic space with free wifi, coffee, and tea, a kitchen, and a lounge.

Come in anytime and get set up (Psst..you don’t have to come this early, you are welcome to get those extra zzz’s and join later in the morning), Or come check out our monthly coffee social from 8-9 a.m. in Affinity Hall!
12 p.m. BYOL
Bring your own lunch, or pick one up from one of the many fantastic local cafes and get to know others from the coworking community.
