ABC’S OF BIKE MAINTENANCE
Monday September 9, 2019
12-1:30pm and 2-3:30pm @B!KE
As a part of DisOrientation Week 2019, Join B!KE for a DIY workshop where you can tune up your own bike! This workshop will provide up to 6 participants with the opportunity to complete their own bike tune-up. Our instructor Tegan will walk participants through the fundamentals of maintaining your bicycle in a fun and supportive learning environment.
Please bring a bicycle and come prepared to get your hands dirty!
We are offering this workshop in two sessions. The first session,
ABC’s of Bike Maintenance 12-1:30 at B!KE, is open to anyone.
The second is specifically for women and trans folks and will be held from 2-3:30 at B!KE. We recognize that mechanical skills are typically taught and learned by men. By offering this workshop for women and trans folks, we hope to create a welcoming and friendly environment for people who may feel more comfortable learning mechanical skills with other women and trans folks.
Both workshops are free for Trent Students, or $10 for non-students. Limit of 6 people per workshop. Registration is appreciated, email tegan@communitybikeshop.org to register.

MENding INTRODUCTION WORKSHOP

Trent University, Gzowski College, Room GCS345

MENding INTRODUCTION WORKSHOP
Tuesday September 10, 2019
4:30-6:30pm @ Gzowski College, Room GCS345
As a part of OPIRG’s 2019 DisOrientation Week, there will be a MENding workshop in collaboration with KSAC (Kawartha Sexual Assault Centre).
The MENding Program is designed to be delivered to men who are interested in educating other men and boys on the issue of Gender-Based Violence (GBV). This curriculum recognizes that while men are the primary perpetrators of GBV, many men do not commit acts of violence against women, sexuality, or gender identity. So many men want to make a difference, but do not have the knowledge, wisdom, and skill to properly engage other men in violence prevention.
This introductory session is meant to introduce participants to the issue, invite reflection on their own masculinity, and educate participants on issues of sexual violence, and Gender-Based Violence.
If you are unsure of the location, please use http://www.classfind.com/trent for directions.
