WIMESSA and SPHR are teaming up to bring you a farewell barbeque and picnic this coming Tuesday, May 3 from 1:30 - 4:30 PM! It's a wonderful opportunity to get to know both organizations, and get involved in the amazing work that they do!

There will be free burgers, hot dogs, and mana'eesh to go around for everyone. Vegan and halal options will be available.
We'll be meeting up at the corner of Ave des Pins and Ave du Parc (in Parc Léo-Pariseau just south of Parc Jeanne-Mance). See you there!
