A new Sunday afternoon event called the Connections Lab, is giving people a space to work on creative projects in a warm, welcoming place.

About 20 people showed up to the first edition, including a table full of children. Participants brought knitting, made water colour paintings, and drawings. 

“These are grey days,” said organizer Alana Morouney. 

“We wanted to have a space where people can feel creative and feel like they can do things that has few barriers.” 

“So when you come in today you don’t have to pay for anything, you don’t have to buy a cup of coffee on your way in. It’s free.” 

Connection Lab will take place at the Sackville Commons, every Sunday during the month of March from 2:00 pm until 4:00 pm.
