Babytime
Thursdays until December 1, 10:30 – 11 am
Make language fun! Start early with Babytime. Help your baby develop speech and language skills – enjoy bouncing, singing, rhyming and stories. Babytime is a fun, social bonding activity for babies AND caregivers. Suitable for babies 23 months and younger. Didn’t quite make it to Babytime? It’s all good, because babies and caregivers are invited to relax and mingle in the program room after Babytime ends. Tune out the rest of the world and let your baby socialize with other babies.

Immigrant Women in the Workplace : Race, Gender and Class in the Hospitality industry
Join us on Saturday, November 5th, to discuss how race, gender and immigration intersect in the workplace. At this event we will hear from women in the hospitality industry, academics, and organizations working for change in the workplace. The Hospitality industry is where a number of immigrants, particularly women, find their first jobs. These jobs are often precarious, physically demanding, and can result in pain and injury. It is possible to transform these invisible and undervalued positions into good jobs that support families and allow immigrants to establish themselves if workers unite for change with support from the community. Join us in our effort to make a difference.
Speakers: Charan Gill – Progressive Intercultural Community Services
Habiba Zaman – SFU Professor in Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies
Harinder Mahil – Former Chair of the Human Rights Commission of BC
Chin Banerjee – South Asian Network For Secularism and Democracy
Octavian Cadabeschi – UNITE HERE Local 40
Several housekeepers from the Sheraton Vancouver Airport
Saturday November 5th 2:00pm to 4:00pm
