The room is available for free for community groups. If you need a place to hold a meeting or even a full-day workshop, call 882-3100. If the room is available, you can book it at no cost. In addition to community meetings, the room is used for programs, such as Focus Forward, support groups, workshops on health-related topics, as well as innovative medical telecommunications.
The Bennett and Albert County Health Care (BACH) Foundation has furnished the room with various audiovisual technology. You can use the basic flipchart and white boards, or project images from your laptop to a screen or television monitor.
Videoconferencing is also possible – this allows for live communication between different locations. People can hear and see each other on the television screen. Meetings and workshops can be held with various groups of people in several different places at once.
