So if you’re on the hunt for a productive pastime, you should learn more about boardLink.

Now, doesn’t that sound way more rewarding than learning how to crochet?
Using boardLink Live presentations and boardLink online, individuals who are interested in becoming volunteers are matched with organizations based on interests and skill sets.

So if you’re free tomorrow night then don’t miss this great chance to learn more about local projects like the Alberta Theatre Projects, JazzYYC, and Design Talks Institute.
After all, giving back is so much more rewarding than binge watching every episode of Grey’s Anatomy. Trust us, if you already missed it the first time around – you’re good.
