What’s Happening at WPL

About the Program

In recognition of AccessAbility Week, we’re screening Sensory Overload, a documentary that highlights the experiences of neurodivergent and neurosensitive individuals and the allies who support them. The film follows people who are challenging stigma, shifting neurotypical perspectives, and advocating for environments that better meet their sensory needs. With an estimated 20% of people experiencing heightened sensitivity to the world around them, Sensory Overload sheds light on the importance of sensory‑inclusive spaces and the ongoing work to break down barriers in our communities.

About the Program

Join us for this exciting conclusion to the Hand Lettering Basics programs, where participants will learn extended brush calligraphy techniques. We will cover flourishes, drawing bouncy-style brush calligraphy letters, and creating posters using lettering layout templates. The program will conclude with participants making their own poster on 11 x 17 cardstock.

About the Program

Let imaginations bloom in this hands-on art program for kids! Young artists can express their creativity by designing and painting their own canvas or decorating a flower pot with colourful, one-of-a-kind creations. It’s all about exploring ideas, trying new techniques, and making something uniquely theirs to take home.

About the Program

Join WPL and SPECTRUM for a reading circle for 2SLGBTQIA+ folks and allies that takes less commitment than a book club. We'll have different readings (short stories, essays, poetry, etc.) that we will read together and then discuss. No preparation needed! The readings will explore 2SLGBTQIA+ topics and/or be written by 2SLGBTQIA+ writers.

About the Event

Beats in the Square is a free community celebration highlighting 2SLGBTQIA+ voices and Indigenous history, culture, and identity through music, dance, performances, and connection.
