EDI Book Club’s Book Tasting

This session was previously offered as part of the Mini-Conference 2023. As many expressed that they missed the opportunity to attend, TCDC reached out to the presenters and helped organize an encore. TCDC is grateful to the presenters for agreeing to deliver the session again to reach more of the Langara community.
